September 16th - October 2nd 2004
In the fall of 2004
I traveled to Berlin to present a research paper at the 14th
International Symposium on the "Packaging and Transportation of
Radioactive Materials"
(PATRAM). The
paper, a collaborative effort with co-investigator Zelda Iams
and titled: Six of us set out from Seattle that September: Glenn, Gisela, and Me (with Laveta) on the 16th, followed by Floyd and Zelda on the 18th. At the conclusion of the conference Laveta and I flew on to Italy for an eight day tour (vacation). And yes, we all had our little adventures...
