Aunt Bev

My aunt Bev (McIntyre) died this morning. I last saw her almost two years ago when she came to the reception when my wife and I got married. I didn't realize it was the last time I would see her. She lived in Montana, and visits were infrequent due to the distance. Still, whenever I happened through (Montana) and stopped in, her and my uncle Mac (who passed in 2005), were always glad to see me. They used to come by train (Mac was "an old Railroad man") to Minnesota to visit sometimes. I always tried to see them when they were here.

Goodbye Bev, we'll miss you. I know the last year was hard for you. I hope you are happy again.
Kevin

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
