We stayed three nights in Tucson as guest of Matt and Virginia Johns. Here we are outside their home in the morning light. We became friends with Matt and Virginia back in 1975 when they rented an apartment next to ours while I we were going to the U of A. Matt came to Tucson after completing his PHD at Dartmouth to manage a telescope up on Kitt Peak just west of Tucson.
We met up with another of our friends, Jeannie and Tom Baxter. Jean and Elaine went to high school together and Jean went to the U of A graduate school at the same time we were in Tucson. They gave us a great tour of revitalized downtown Tucson. Jean is the education director for the Presidio San Agustin. Here is a view of the old courthouse near the Presidio.
A neat statue of Pancho Villa.
We used the trolley car system to tour downtown Tucson.
Jean and Elaine catching up on the trolley.
Jean and Tom invited us to a very nice home cooked dinner at their house. Before dinner I got to take Tom's Porsche Boxster out for a spin. I am past mid life but definitely recommend one of these for a mid life boost.
We ended a very nice day posing for a picture with Jean and Tom.
