Personal Photo Album

My sons with a childhood friend. Left to right: Gayatri Scherer, Lyndon Foo, Kerwyn Foo; in 1998.

Lyndon and Kerwyn, 1982, in Carlingford where we then lived. Lyndon was 2 and Kerwyn 8. Kerwyn was then in Eastwood Elementary School, which Lyndon later attended.

Norman and Yokelin in Gretna Green, Scotland, 1998

Young Tay and Norman at the old concert hall in Birmingham, 1998. It's a replica of the Parthenon! Young is a materials physicist, and one of Norman's closest buddies. Young was with Norman all the way from elementary school through high school, and they still argue pasionately about the reality of quantum fields when they meet. Norman is the realist, Young the metaphysician. Young is also a Liberal-Democract activist who helps select candidates for Parliament. Click here for a close up.

Yokelin with Savitri Shearer, an old friend, mother of Gayatri (above) and Inu (Gayatri's brother), and wife of Peter. Peter is with the ILO in Paris, and Savitri is a journalist. In Chinatown, Sydney 1998.

Me and old high-school debating team-mate Sheila Reznikov (nee Sodhy) in Adelaide Dec 2001. This was the first time since we left the V.I. more than 35 years before that we had caught up with each other. Later, I will put up a photo of another V.I. gang meeting in London!

Dinner in Lakemba in early 2005. Clockwise from left front: Pat Levesque, Maurice Pagnucco, Nadima Hassan, Me, Yokelin, Hector Levesque.

Me, Michael Thielscher and Rex Kwok in the Barossa, AI'01 Adelaide visit. Michael thinks that Rex and me are "bananas" -- for some a derisory, but for him a jocular, slang describing de-racinated Asians whose minds function in the western intellecual tradition. I deny that, of course, as I do not understand cricket while Rex is a devotee :-).

With Gerd Brewka and Family in
the South Coast

Yokelin and me with the Brewkas in the South Coast, August 2004. Gerd Brewka was delivering a series of lectures to NICTA on answer set programming. He, Tommie and I wrote a paper identifying pure strategy Nash equilbria with most preferred answer sets in LPODS (a species of logic programs Gerd invented) as a result of this visit.
