We arrived in Alpharetta just about noon. Ginny had called ahead to ask the hotel if we could check in a bit early, and they said it was just fine. So we did. Today's only social visit was with our friend Dabney and her family. I have mentioned before that Dabney and I were in the same research group at MIT. She chose the academic route and is now a tenured full professor at Georgia State University here in Atlanta. That is a very long row to hoe and she did it well. We have kept in touch with her all these years and always look forward to getting together each time we visit Atlanta. One of the activities that goes along with these visits is a photo of Ginny and Dabney. During the photo session we got to wondering when the first one was. I went back and found the first one in my collection which was from September of 2005. The top photo is today and the bottom photo is the earlier one. It is worthwhile to note that the choice of beverage has become wine rather than tea.
