Ryan and Sally's London
Adventure As you may recall, Sally
moved to Imperial College London's Silwood Park campus near Ascot on
Jan.
6th, 2003. It was a very tough time when she left. But we
managed
to see each other roughly every 3-4 weeks (although the last period was
6
weeks). Sally also came and stayed in New York for two extended
visits.
But now we're in the same place again, this time London! As
before,
we'll use this page to share pictures and stories. ( Click here for the old New
