March 1, 2015:  Pasadena with Michael Kline, Suzy,  Alex... and some turtles

How many Pittsburgh viewers of this blog remember Michael Kline?  --the dear friend I sat with on the bus from 2nd grade through high school.  We reunited!

I was trying to network in Southern California when I was job hunting last year, and I remember he lived down there...somewhere.  I Googled his name, his graduate school, and his profession and I found him!  At NASA in Pasadena!!!!

AS luck would have it, on this trip to SoCal centered around Jennifer's film premier (see prior post), Alex signed me up for my first swim meet--UG!!!  In Pasadena.  

So it worked out well for us to catch Michael and to meet his spouse Suzy.  Alex had not seen Michael since high school, and I had not seen him since right after college -- 19 years ago, I think we figured.  so it was a very special day indeed. And Michael is as humbly smart, creative, and sweet as ever. He found a great match in Suzy. I adore her.
