As soon as my spring semester term was done at the University of Kentucky, we drove back to Urbana again, sometime in May, 1970. I wanted to finish up some work I had been doing with Dr. Yankwich while post-docking for him. We stayed with Dean and Maria at their apartment. Later Maria took Deanna to visit grandparents in both Tokyo and Taipei. Dean was finishing up his PhD degree in Chemistry. He was delayed for two major reasons. First, his initial thesis director died in his lab from toxic chemicals he was working on at the time. Dean had to restart his thesis work with another advisor. Then he had problem with his experimental work - it just would not work properly for him. We stayed in their apartment for a couple of months. Then Janice took Pan-pan to visit her parents on Cape Cod. I stayed in Urbana a while and then joined them.
Dean and Maria’s daughter, Deanna, is a few months older than Pan-pan. They played very well together during our first month in Urbana. The lady in the last picture was Pastor Kalkwarf’s wife, Faith. I do not remember if she was visiting us or if we were visiting her.
