Dear All, sharing with you the following stories with four attached pictures!

Last Saturday (5/11), my older son drove us to Ann Arbor, Michigan, while my younger son drove from South Bend, Indiana to held a partial family reunion in the campus of the University of
Michigan. Attached are two pictures taken with them. (We happened to see 1976 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Samuel Chao-Chung Ting, sat at the corner table not far from us for a breakfast group
meeting at the Campus Inn the following Sunday morning.)

Today (5/19), my older son drove us to Toronto for a one-day tour of this magnificent metropolis.  Attached are two pictures taken in the campus of the University of Toronto: one in front of the Shoe
Museum; the other one in front of the Department of Earth Sciences, where I declined with deep regret to come 48 years ago after being admitted for attending its graduate program. (In the background
is a giant stone of Quartzite with a thick layered piece of Muscovite on the surface.)

Best wishes,
Che-Bao Ma, sent on 2013.05.19 from Waterloo, a beautiful city and home base of BlackBerry (the cell phone used by US President Barack Obama and myself too) in Ontario, Canada
PS: From the email exchanges, I can see that Pier Pei-Kun Huang has been in a good mood ready to face his prostate surgery in June. Best wishes to him for a smooth surgery and sound recovery!
