Tell Peter you worked there once. He was with me in the
Navigation Software Division, bldg 264, but it might have been
after you left.

Occasionally, JPL has an open house, where the public can tour
the facilities like the solar simulator, spacecraft assembly, or
see presentations at the Von Karman Auditorium. Peter might have
a better idea of when they might be.

I still have the polaroid print you made me from the JPl digital
film recorder back around 1981. It was the first time I'd seen
24bit color output from one of my CG raytraced images. Before
that it was all HP pen plots and Tektronix vector storage tubes.
