  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.
