Above are pictures of the Old Mill. It is in a small park just down the hill from our house in Adelphi, MD. It was just off a pretty creek. They had square dancing there with a pot luck. Below is a picture of Clifton Park Baptist church, Barbara's church. Through her church we were able to meet Mr. Yeam, a Korean scienst who was working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He had developed a way of germinating Zoysia grass which was popular in U.S., but could only be spread by plugs as no one know how to germinate their seeds (the seeds have to experience being frozen and certain levels of acidity before they will germinate). In Korea, with close friends you call them by bust there family name (which is generally said first), but we weren't comfortable with just calling him Yeam, so he was Mr. Yeam to us (and it was a term of endearment). | ![]() |

At H.D.L., the Army research lab where I worked there were several young staff members (who had starting working there summers as I did) and we would get together to hang out and play games such as Risk. Here are Fran, Chuck, and Tom with Mr. Yeam. I don't know why the color is so awful. We were such geeks. Rather than discussing the Super Bowl or such droll matters, we would challenge each other to see who remembered the most digits of pi (as scientific programmers in Fortran which did not have constants at the time, every peice of our code had an initial variable which was pi accurate to eight digits). | ![]() |
