West Coast Tour to Assume the Presidency
This trip was a logistics marvel. Fly into San Diego for 4 days to visit family and meet my newest grandchild of 4 months. What an amazing young bambino! My 7th nipote! Fly to Sacramento to visit my brother and sister in the Sierra foothills and see a different way to retire on 25 acres. Scenic and peaceful, but not for me. I visited my father and mother's grave for the first time. Gravestone already showing signs of aging. Little weird to think there bodies are in a box below decaying. Meaningless, meaningless. All we are is dust in the wind. Drive to my alma mater, Univ of California, Davis to give a talk about SFTE to a dozen graduate students and faculty in the Department of Aeronautics. My old grad school professors, Prof. Karnopp, and Prof Margolis were still there in the same offices! 90+ and still doing bond graphs! Many others had died, some with their names on a building. The new professors were young!...
