Ack and Anne visited DC (and Alana) again in late March 2009. Ack had a couple of meetings - one with NOAA, one with NASA and one with USRA. We stayed the weekend to visit with Alana, enjoy the cherry tree blossoms and look and houses/condos to buy. It was very nice to experience spring again!
Ack and Anne are long time sweeties who are on a new adventure. Ack, a professor at UW-Madison, is on sabbatical for 9 months. Anne, a folklorist who loves to explore new cultural settings, is along for the fun. --That was our description as of 9/07 when we were just starting our time in DC (see blog "ackandanne"). Now we're back in Madison on the grand adventure of life at home (see blog "ackanne1954").
