Abstract

We two had year-long research leaves in Japan, working together fulltime with several Japanese plus Tony De Groot back in Livermore and Harald Posch in Vienna. We summarize a few of the high spots from that very productive year ( 1989-1990 ), followed by an additional fifteen years' work in Livermore, with extensive travel. Next came our retirement in Nevada in 2005, which has turned out to be a long-term working vacation. Carol narrates this part of our history together.
