Yes, that's me at SFO at 11:30 a.m. on June 14, 2008, just before getting on the plane. Danny took the picture, and I have to admit that he takes a good photo. This was after Sue, Jerry, and I had dinner at Chili's (mmm...). I was tired from a long week of preparation and from SCU graduation. But it was time to hit the old road. It was a short goodbye to Danny and then I was off on the big silver bird.
Dinh and Thuc came all the way to Hanoi airpot to pick me up. That's a drive of 3 hours. It was great to see them again. But then we could not find Fr. Bill Mulligan, S.J. Well, we waited and waited, and then Dinh thought, hmm, maybe Fr. Bill is on the other side of the airport. Yes, he was there! We all laughed, none more than Fr. Bill. He is from Boston, or should I say Bahstin.
