Kayla is TWO and her parents threw her a pool party. Everyone had a good time!

Here we are, walking to Lisa and Greg's house.

The birthday girl -- Kayla!
Happy birthday Kayla.

Stoli enjoyed the party too!

Karen's sister, Lisa was up in Seattle and she bought us some smoked salmon (and fresh loaf of garlic rosemary bread) from here -- it was good!

The company traditionally offers retirees an optional farewell dinner. Norman and I elected to combine our retirement allotment so that we could order a "special" menu.

The food was terrific! We started with a cold appetizer platter.

Shrimp with candied walnuts.

Double scallops.

Shark's fin soup.

Peking duck.

Giant black mushrooms and broccoli.

Chinese fried chicken.

LOBSTER!!

Fish fillet with greens.

Here are a few faces from the crowd -- Kit Lee and Me.

The MacD lunch bunch -- Phil, Norm, Kit and me.

The Mrs and Me.

Glenn Tanaka, Ngoc Ho and his wife MyAn.

Philip Lui and Norman Chiu.

Me and Margie Takaki.

Ernest Gonzalez and Norman Chiu.

The APM (assistant program manager), George Hammers, gave a short speech following the dinner and handed me a few gifts.

So, after 28+ years, this is all the thanks I got.
