Carl Wentworth's Retirement Party

On Friday, April 30, 2004, we celebrated Carl Wentworth's retirement from the U.S. Geological Survey. We gathered at Little House in Menlo Park from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, ditching out of work a little early on Friday. Little House is located in Nealon Park on Middle Street behind Safeway off of El Camino Real. It is a nice place for a potluck-dinner gathering like this one.
