Here are Dave, his girlfriend, and I in front of the bust of George Hale for whom the main telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory is named. Earlier in the day we had stopped by Dave's oldest sister's house to pick up his younger sister. His oldest sister had a baby who is in one of the pictures. But I am certain we didn't take the baby with us. The stroller in the picture must have been from someone else. Dave's oldest sister and her husband would soon move inland from Oceanside, and he would become a caretaker for the golf course there. It was a somewhat secluded valley where soon-to-be-President Richard Nixon and his golfing and religious buddy Billy Graham would occasionally play. Dave a year or so later related a story to me about when he was also staying there with his sister and brother-in-law and he tried to ask a question of a secret service agent he happened upon but the agent gave him a contemptuous look, spoke not a word, and moved away.
