Dave’s 59th Birthday Dinner

Dinner 1

TECHNOLOGY 2 DAVE 0 - I managed to set the camera for a 2-second (instead of 10-second) delay twice before I finally got a picture of the twelve of us (most of my extended family) at dinner for my 59th birthday on September 24, 2004.

Dinner 2

SUCCESS! Counterclockwise from Mark Van Name at the head of the table: Sarah VN; April Drake; Tristan D; Jonathan D; Jennie Faries; me; my wife Jo D; Allyn Vogel; Scott VN; and Rana VN. You'll notice that my repeated screwups with the camera worked as a great comedy turn, so people were smiling more naturally than is sometimes the case.

Bomb casing

The bomb casing beside me is not, as I thought I read on the card, that of one similar to the plutonium bomb Bockscar dropped on Nagasaki.
