Smultron (Wild Strawberry) Luncheon
My first day in Minneapolis,
Minnesota was to happily meet some of my fellow researchers from the Smultron
web group for lunch at Q Cumbers Restaurant. This was my third luncheon with
the Smultron’s, the first lunch was in San Jose, California and the second was
in Los Altos, California. Elsie Martin seated third on the left was one of the reasons
why the dinner in Los Altos was setup. Elsie had mentioned she was going to be
in town for business and one thing I have learned about Smultron’s, they love
to get together. This luncheon in Minneapolis was even more special because my
cousin David Thoreson and his wife Colleen, who I never met before, were able
to make it. I remember how happy I was when I first met David and Colleen
Thoreson. It did not take me long to feel comfortable with them. This was my
brother Ted’s first Smultron luncheon and we talked that evening what a good
time we had. Seated second on the right is Ted.
