Back at home in Austin

Mary and Pat,

I have followed the temperature gradients back to Austin. Too cool and wet in Albany, too hot and dry in Austin. I'll be here for about a month. Andy graduates with an accounting degree and magna cum laude this Friday. He has required graduate school for CPA coming in September. I believe he will be staying home during this period, so Nancy may avoid the empty nest. Daniel arrives as a transfer student at Texas A&M at the end of the month. U-Haul and I will be close business associates.

Our Samsung assignee at ISMI in Austin is returning home at the end of this week and his replacement arrives in Albany today. She will be working detection of non-visual defects (NVDs) and I will be completing the departing assignee's unpatterned defect-detection work at KLA. So I may stop by again when I am in the area. Yield Council and an NVD Workshop will round out the month, followed by Advisory meetings in Albany at the beginning of September.

A break from the chemo-rad appears to be coming for y'all. Good. Enjoy. Recover. Breathe.

Love,
Milt
