Annual Dinner Honoring Distinguished Professors of Duke University

Our table at the Dinner.

Each year in April, Duke University honors its Distinguished Professors with a dinner--usually held at the Washington Duke Inn.  Dan and I enjoy this event---the food is always delicious, we treasure seeing old friends, and we like to meet the new inductees.  Dan was inducted as a James B. Duke Professor of Zoology in 1980, and that year the inductees were actually presented with a physical chair. 

Dan's JBD chair.

Before dinner I was admiring CT's beautiful and unusual necklace.

Lovely lady with lovely necklace.
