July 7, 2006:
The preluce for final prep of C-2 and boom
Today was a fun day for Mickey, the Hebb clan, the Nally clan and the Witte
clan. Here is Cousin Arthur waiting for today's finale. Also in attendance
is part of the Witte clan - Teasie, Liza and Matthew. Even from Singapore,
I felt the excitment that Mickey, Ken and their team create.
For orientation, here is our reference photo
