Recorded: 29 Apr 2005

I’ve been there. I’ve been there for events like when it was Jim Watson’s, hmm, I don’t remember which one, sixtieth birthday or something like that, there was a big event. Those are always so much fun because it’s getting together all the people we were graduate students with and seeing them again.
