Ret'd late last night (4/27/98) from a 12-day Florida trip. Flew to
Ft. Lauderdale, picked up by Bob & Evelyn Peters, stayed a few days
w/them in Tamarac then Evelyn & I drove to Stuart, Fla., where we joined
Thelma Sweeney of the GEWA Store, Barbara Hamilton still employed at Goddard
and Wilma Evans & Laura Hancock (Smith), former GSFC employees. We
later were visited by Betty Biscoe, a former GSFC employee, and her husband
Walt, presently living in Vero Beach. WHAT A MEMORABLE TRIP -- NEEDLESS
TO SAY, FLORIDA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!
