【050929, CA】The early arriving classmates to the LA2005 Gathering in Tsai's living room on 9/29/2005. From Left to right: 孝光,永慰,豫德,蔡光,茜莉,霽顏,之舜.
之舜 took this photo as he picked up 美琪 from her hotel near UCI where she just finished giving a talk on some we-try-but-don't-get-it math subject.
This is Lee Ping-Zing, 義隆's wife, attending the LA Gathering on his behalf. A few of our classmates spent quite some time in their UCSB dorm in the early '80s, engaging in some definitely non-math activities!
From left to right: 豫德,安隅,開慶.
This could be 開慶's long-awaited fantasy, or long-dreaded nightmare, come true: 茜莉 was there to make sure he stayed in line!
Mr. and Mrs. 安隅, on left, with 開慶 and 孝光.
This is Soong Yuan: Math78, 蔡光's wife, and chef of the LA2005 Gathering.
This is 開慶's whole family, clearly a long way to go before emerging from under the water!
茜莉,安隅 and 永慰.
This is 蔡光 in his backyard, relaxing right before the bonfire that evening.
