The whole gang
The purpose of this trip to Bonaire was to get Yanjin down there to see the wastewater plant he helped design. This plant was a project that Yanjin, Eldon and I have been working on for the last 7 years or more as we continue to optimize the treatment process. Despite this effort, this trip to Bonaire would be the first time that the three of us would meet together. Yanjin brought along his wife Yang and children Eric and Kathy. Yanjin’s family learned how to snorkel and we enjoyed the Chinese meals prepared by Yang. The children had a great time and are ready for their next trip. Eldon and Lois did a great job putting this all together and hosting it. Paul Allen (Microsoft) visited the island while we were there in his small yacht (300 feet). It comes complete with a helicopter, sailboat, and motor boat. Maybe the dock was not big enough for his 400 foot yacht.

Thank you very much for the nice photos and words. The Bonaire trip was so wonderful. Everyone in my family had a great time. Thank you and Eldon for the vision, passion and guidance in this exciting project. I really appreciate the opportunity to be part of the team.

P.S. It is a great pleasure to feature on your blog.
