袁清教授夫妇是我们的老朋友,已有20多年的交往,但是在美国我们并没有去过他们工作和居住的地方。他们约我们去Dayton OH那里作客已经好多年了,今年我们来美后,他们又几次来电话诚邀我们赴客。812上午又接袁青教授电话,得知他9月底要到东部哈佛大学等地,10月中至11月下旬要去中国和越南旅游。如果我们要安排去那里那末也许八月底九月初是最佳时间。不过这个时间正是“9·11”事件的前夕,恐怖活动威胁仍然是个问题。经商议我们还是决定乘飞机往返New York (LGA)---DAYTON (DAY),也可以亲身感受“9·11”事件的影响。我们立即通过电脑查询了8月29、30、31,及9月1日美国国内航班,从中选择机票价格适中、起飞时间既不太早也不太晚的直达飞机,并从网上(travel@expedia.com)购买了8月31日及9月7日白天的往返纽约——代顿的机票。Flight E-Ticket Confirmed, 价格$193.49x2; Taxes $56.02; Booking Fees $10.00;总计$453.00

11:15分,Y开车送我们离开Heritage HillLGA机场。从Somers 出发到LGA机场在没有塞车的情况下大约不到50分时间,今天是星期日,又是长周末加劳工节(Labor Day)的第二天,路上车子并不多,我们的车子经White Plains,Hutchinson River Pkwy 通过Bronx-Whitestone Bridge1210分就到了LaGuardia Airport (LGA)。虽然我们曾多次从LGA机场附近路过,但是我从来没有来过LGA机场。我们乘坐的US Air Ways在3号候机楼,在附近停车后,进入候机楼办理E-Ticket(电子票)的换票确认手续,在那里换取正式的机票US 4837Q 13D和13F。我们的随身行李并不多,所以没有办理托运手续。在安全检查前先验票核对有效证件(护照),安检相当严格,每人都要脱鞋,带有手提式电脑者需要交出电脑确认,我们顺利地过了安全检查关。因为只准持有飞机票者进入卫星厅,所以和Y告别。

 

12:35, 进入候机室到达6号登机口。在那里等了一个多小时。13:50分开始登机(距离起飞时间只有9分钟),除了验票和核对身份外,并无其他任何检查。和我们设想的不同,旅客不能直接进入机仓,而是要走下登机梯再走十米路程登上飞机,我们所带的小件行李被行李员截住放在飞机货仓内。我们注意到这架只有54个座位的小飞机的机组人员只有三人,其中一位是空中小姐。座位虽然不满,也有85%左右的入座率。

 

14:10,飞机起飞.因为天气晴朗所以在LGA上空可以清晰看到纽约市容。LGA位于纽约东河(East River)南岸的皇后区(Queens)Astoria地段。处于市人口稠密地区,东面是曼哈顿(Manhattan),北面是布朗区(The Bronx),东面是长岛湾(Long Island Sound),比起纽约的JFK机场和新泽西的纽沃克机场来地段适中,所以LGA机场也就成了纽约国内航线的首选。

 

由于飞行高度在能见度之内,所以能够将飞行地面情况看到一个大概的轮廓自“9·11”以来,空运情况一直不佳,所以短途供应一再削减,飞行途中仅仅供应一份微型饼干重量为5盎斯,实在的可怜。飞行快到代顿时,天空乌云密布,估计可能面临下雨天气。16:10US4837Q航班在Dayton机场安全降落,比原定时间晚了11分钟,在停机坪旁不用一分钟就取出行李,走出候机楼,袁清教授已经在机场门口等侯我们了。

 

1650分到达袁清住地(Dayton市郊东南方Beavercreek 3797 Maple Grove)675路,转入Indian Ripple  Darst Rd.Maple Grove No3797)

 

17:10-17:30分参观袁清“豪宅”,这是一座4100英尺,外加三车位和半英亩花园的住宅,7年前以26万的低价购进三成新的房子,其中经纪人的暗示起了重要的作用,因为售房者的开价是29万。

 

17:50-19:50,袁清夫妇在附近中餐馆华宝(China Buffet)设宴招待,王玉凤于根宝夫妇作陪。

20:05—22:50,在客厅聊天

24:05分睡觉休息

 

2003年9月1日(纽约时间),星期一(农历八月初五日),阴雨,温度Dayton地区

06:00 起床写作

07:45,早点

10:00-14:20 参观空军博物馆

美国空军博物馆(United States Air Force MuseumUSAF Museum)位于代顿市东,它的东侧是675号公路,南面是35号公路,西边紧邻Riverside Town。我们自Beavercreek地区走675号公路到Air Col. Glenn HWY转向Harshman Rd.就到了USAF Museum1100 Spaatz Street, Wright-Patterson, AFB, Ohio, 45433, www.wpafb.af.mil/museum)。这是世界上最大和历史最久的军事航空博物馆,展示了从Wright BrothersKitty Hawk至今的军事航空发展史。每年这里接待来自世界各地数以百万计的参观访问者,除感恩节、圣诞节和元旦外,全年上午9点——下午5点免费对外开放,不需出示任何证件。今年是美国航空发展史的100周年,独立日这天,这里举行了盛大的庆祝活动,博物馆也进行了整修和扩大。

 

美国空军博物馆分早期馆(从早年军事飞行到第二次世界大战)、现代飞行库、现代馆(二战、喷气时代、朝鲜战争、越南战争)、空间馆、空军一号总统座机馆等。关于早期馆陈列了莱特兄弟试飞的许多实物以及从第一次世界大战到第二次世界大战开始时的珍贵飞行文物。现代飞行库陈列了近代不同飞行时期的飞行器实物,你可以随意进入机仓参观。在现代馆里我们看到二战时期陈纳德的飞虎队在中国,看到冷战时期美国的U-2无人驾驶飞机和在朝鲜战争和越南战争期间的飞行器和珍贵实物。我们一进USAF Museum就直接来到参观总统坐机的展厅,需要排队等候专车接送到另外一个展区,大约开了5分钟光景就到了The Presidential Aircraft and Research and Development/Flight Test Hangars。在这里我们登上了陈列着的每架总统座机,从小罗斯福总统到克林顿均逐一陈列。空军博物馆里陈列了250多架飞机,其中供总统使用的有9架。老罗斯福总统在1910年曾坐过Wright B型飞机,但是正式拥有总统座机的是1943111日富兰克林·罗斯福总统 在战时参加卡萨布兰卡会议。This flight , however, was made aboard an unidentified Army C-54 and the Dixie Clipper a Pan American Boeing 314 contracted by the government. This trip gave rise to the requirement for a military aircraft specifically assigned to meet the needs of transporting the President. The first such aircraft was a cargo version of the B-24 bomber, designated a C-87A and heavily modified for VIP use. This aircraft, named Guess Where II, was never used by the President, but Mrs. Roosevelt did make a tour of South and Central America in it in 1944。”

 

第一次专门为总统座机设计的Sacred Cow是罗斯福总统19452月参加雅尔塔会议使用的。此后有几架为总统使用的飞机,但是还没有定名为空军一号。“Today the President’s a aircraft are operated as part of the Special Air Mission fleet of the 89th Airlift Wing based at Andrews AFB outside of Washington, D.C. This fleet is highlighted by two VC-25As-modified Boeing 747s and today’s AIR force ONE. It also contains the c-137 Stratoliner (Boeing 7070, C-9 Nightingale (McDonnell Douglas DC9), c-20  Gulfstream , C-21A(Lear 35-A), and UH-IN Iroquois helicopter, as well as the new C-32A(Boeing 757) and C-37 A (Gulfstream V) which will replace the bC-137.”为罗斯福和杜鲁门总统使用过的飞机Douglas C-54CSkymaster,其中有专门为罗斯福准备的轮椅,1947726日杜鲁门总统在飞机上签署了国家安全法。“This aircraft , named the Sacred Cow, was built in 1944 for use by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is a Douglas C-54 transport aircraft with extensive interior modifications. One special feature is an elevator behind the passenger cabin to lift the President in his wheelchair in and out of the plane. The  passenger compartment includes a conference room with a large desk and bullet-proof picture window. President Roosevelt made his first and only flight in this aircraft, traveling to Yalta in the USSR in February 1945 for a conference with the world War Two leaders of Great Britain and the USSR. For security reasons, the tail number on the aircraft was changed for this flight. On July 26, 1947, President Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 while on board the Sacred Cow. This act established the Air Force as an independent service, making the Sacred Cow the birthplace of the U.S. Air Force. It was later assigned to other transport duties and was eventually retired  in October 1961. In 1983 the Sacred Cow was trucked to the Air Force Museum and the ten year task of restoring the aircraft began in August 1985. The aircraft now appears as it did during President Roosevelt’s trip to Yalta. 

 

杜鲁门总统使用的专机还有Douglas VC-118Liftmaster”“The VC-118 was a military variation of the Douglas DC6 commercial airliner. In 1947, USAAF officials orders the 29th production DC-6 to be modified as a replacement for the aging C-54C Sacred Cow. Presidential aircraft. The aft fuselage was converted into a stateroom and the main cabin configured to either seat 24 passengers or be made up into 12”Sleeper”berths. The –118 was formally commissioned into the AAF on July 4, 1947, and was nicknamed Independence for the President’s hometown in Missouri. Probably the plan’s most historic flight occurred when it carried President Truman to Wake Island in Oct. 1950 to discuss the Korean situation with Gen. Douglas MacArthur.”“Beginning in 1951, the USAF purchased 165 C-118As which were about six feet longer than the Independence. C-118As played a key role in Operation Safe Haven, the aircraft of 14,000 Hungarian refugees to the U.S. in 1956-57.”“In May 1953, after nearly six years of White House service, the Independence was retired as a Presidential aircraft and subsequently several Air Force organizations as a VIP transport. It  was brought to the USAF Museum in 1965, and in 1977-78, restored to its former presidential markings and eagle-like paint scheme.

 

1956-1960年德怀特·D.艾森豪威尔总统乘坐U-4B短途旅行。它是最小的空军一号,我们登上了艾森豪威尔总统的座机,正好遇到一位身重200多磅的美国胖子在飞机走道里迎面而遇,两人无法同时走过,只能侧身背过让对方先过,至于飞机上的卧房,和火车上的卧铺。它有两个引擎带有the familiar blue and white paint scheme。在艾森豪威尔总统离职后, 飞机用作政府高官的飞行。1969101日它被送往空军研究院(Air Force Academy197711月送往Nebraska Civil Air Patrol,1996年进入博物馆。艾森豪威尔总统使用的另一架飞机是Lockheed VC-121EConstellation”“The C121 is the military version of the famed Constellation commercial transport. During World War Two, the AAF purchased 22 early model Constellations(L-49), which designated C-69s, and between 1948 and 1955 the USAF ordered 150 C-121s(L-749)for use as cargo and passenger carriers, executive transports, and airborne early warning picket ships. The aircraft on display, an L-1049 and only VC-121F built, was President Eisenhower’s personal airplane between 1954 and 1961. Mrs. Eisenhower christened it Columbine III in honor of the official flower of Colorado, her adopted home state. In ceremonies on Nov. 24, 1954. Columbine III served as the presidential aircraft until President Eisenhower left office in January 1961. It remained in service transporting government officials and visiting foreign dignitaries throughout the world until it was retired to the U.S. Air Force Museum in 1966.

 

The UH-13J was the Air Force’s version of the Bell commercial model 47J helicopter. Two UH-13Js were purchased in March 1957 for use as the first presidential helicopters. On July 13, President Eisenhower became the first Chief Executive to fly in a helicopter when he took off from the White House lawn in the sister ship of the Sioux on display. Following their retirement as presidential aircraft on March 1, 1962. both UH-13Js were used to carry high-ranking Department of Defense personnel and numerous foreign dignitaries. In July 1967, they were retired from service, one going to the Smithsonian Institution and the other to the Air Force Museum.

 

19688—1973年初林登B.约翰逊有关的飞机是North American T-39ASabreliner”“The T-39 was developed as a private venture to meet  a USAF requirement for a twin jet utility trainer. The prototype made its first flight on September 16, 1958In all143 T-39As and 6 T-39Bs were built for the USAF. The Sabreliner also entered the commercial market where it became a highly successful executive jet transport. The T-39A on display was delivered to the USAF on June 6, 1963. From August 1968 until early q973, it was assigned to Bergstrom AFB, Texas, in support of former President Lyndon B. Johnson . It was flown to the Museum on October 24, 1984.”此外“Beech VC-6A is a standard Beech craft King Air B90 with a VIP interior and is the only one of its type purchased by the Air Force. It was placed in service in early 1966. During the early part of its operational career, it was used to transport President Lyndon B. Johnson and members of his family between Bergstrom AFB, Texas , near Austin, and Johnson family ranch near Johnson city. During this time, the aircraft became informally known as the Lady Bird Special . After leaving presidential service, the VC-6A continued in its special executive transport role until it was retired  in September, 1985.

 

洛克希德VC-140B Jet Star”在一段时期内曾先后由尼克松、福特、卡特和里根总统坐过。“”The C-140 is a military version of the Lockheed 1329. The prototype Jet Star was first flown on September 4,1957, and production began in 1960. Although the majority were built for civilian market, the U.S. Air Force bought 16 Jet Stars as C-140As and –Bs , the first of which was delivered in late 1961. Six were flown as VC-140Bs on special government and White House airlift mission. The VC-140B on display carried Presidents Nixon, Ford, Cater and Reagan a number of times.

 

 

波音空军一号(Boeing VC-137C ‘Air Force One’)的展示是总统坐机的重头戏,从肯尼迪到约翰逊、尼克松、卡特、克林顿的专机均逐一展出。“This Boeing 707-320B, USAF serial 62-6000, was specially outfitted in 1962 to be the official aircraft of the president of the United States . The designation Air Force One was given to this Air  Force aircraft only when the President was aboard, otherwise it was known by the tail number as SAM(Special Air Mission) 26000.

On October 10, 1962, the VC-137C, 26000, entered Air Force service directly from the Boeing assembly line in Renton, Washington. President Kennedy had the aircraft pained in striking blue and white instead of the usual military colors to give the aircraft a distinctive look. The words United States of America were emblazoned on the fuselage and an American flag was painted on the tail. This aircraft has carried all the presidents from 1962 to 1998.

In 1963, Number 26000 flew President Kennedy to Berlin where he declared to the West Berliners “”Ich bin ein Berliner that assured them of the continuing support of the US in the face of the construction of the Berlin Wall. The airplane flew President Kennedy to Dallas, Texas, on November, 22 1963, where he was assassinated, and it was on this airplane that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the United States. President Johnson used the aircraft extensively, including flights to Vietnam at the height of that conflict. Beginning in 1970, President Nixon’s National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger used the aircraft for 13 trips to Paris for secret negotiations with the North Vietnamese. President Nixon also used 26000 frequently, including his historic trip to China in February 1972 the first visit to that country by an American president.”“In December 1972 ,26000 was replaced as the primary presidential aircraft by another Boeing VC-137, 72-7000, and 26000 became a back-up. In this role it was used primarily by the vice president and other senior officials, though still occasionally used by the president himself. For example, Secretary of State James Baker used it for flights to the Middle East prior to the 1991 Gulf War, The aircraft was flown to the Air Force Museum for permanent display in May 1998.

 

在博物馆邻近处是纪念公园,里面有塑像、纪念装饰品、树丛、长凳等,人们在这里散步回味对博物馆的感受。在博物馆里还有教育部向儿童、成人、旅游者、学者等提供不同需求的节目,而博物馆的研究部则提供进一步的研究信息。IMAX剧院提供相关影片,供读者观看。如果有时间,可以整天在博物馆里仔细地参观。和博物馆相邻的是美国空军基地,在它的旁边是以莱特命名的莱特州立大学,在莱特大学生活区外不远的地方有一座纪念莱特兄弟的纪念碑,在这里,我们站立良久,浮想联翩,1903年以来的一百年间,我们这里地球已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。

参观Wright State University(Colonel  Glenn. Highway)

校园极大。Wright State University Libraries Special Collections and archives Paul Laurence Dunbar Library收藏了早期航空史的珍贵资料,包括有关Orville and Wilbur Wright 及其家庭的历史资料,藏有代顿地方历史资料等。图书馆里专藏1903Wright 飞行复制品(The replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer that Graces the atrium of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library celebrates the accomplishments of the Wright brothers, who first achieved controlled powered flight on December 17, 1903,above the sands of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Wright

State University is named for Wilbur and Orville Wright, printers and bicycle makers from Dayton, Ohio, whose curiosity about flight led to the research and development that culminated in the building of the 1903 Flyer.

The original Flyer was constructed of spruce and powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, built by Wright mechanic Charles Taylor  Wing surfaces were covered in Pride of West muslin. The development of the engine, sewing of the wings, making of the propellers, and general construction of the frame were all completed in Dayton. The parts were shipped from Dayton to Kitty Hawk and assembled there. The first successful flight lasted 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120feet.

This full-scale replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer was conceived and built by a dedicated group of volunteer model makers, mechanics, engineers, woodworkers and seamstresses under the leadership of Howard R. DuFore. The replica is constructed of basswood rather than spruce. Muslin again covers the wings and all metal parts were custom-made from drawings of the originals. The propellers were constructed and donated by Hartzell Propeller. The engine is a mock-up of the original and made by larry DuFour. The accuracy of construction or tolerances are to within. .010+_of an inch. The specifications of the 1903 Wright Flyer Replica match those of the original, with the exception of the overall weight of the machine. The replica weight 550Lbs. Due to the difference in the weight of the engine and its auxiliary parts.

The Wright 1903 Flyer Replica is dedicated the Wilkinson “Wick” Wright ,great nephew of the Wright brothers and generous friend and supporter of the Wright State University Libraries. It is also a tribute to the volunteers who donated their skill and time to create the Flyer and encourage the spirit of invention in each of us.

The 1903 Wright Flyer Replica was funded by the Wright State University Foundation .)

关于The Wright Brothers Collection:“The Wright Brothers Collection at Wright State University is one of the most complements records of lives and work of WILBUR AND Orville Wright, and it complements the collection held by the Library of Congress. Housed in Special Collections and archives in the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library, the collection contains over 6000 items including more than 200 technical books, journals, and pamphlets accumulated by the Wright brothers, and more than 500 items related to their research, business, and legal endeavors. It also consisted of the papers and diaries of Bishop Milton Wright (father to Wilbur and Orville)and more than 1000 genealogical items gathered by Bishop Wright and Orville Wright. The nearly 4000 photographs documenting the invention of powered flight and the lives of the Wright family are an especially rich aspect of the Wright Brothers Collection.

在参观美国能源科学博物馆(American Museum of Science & Energy)后,袁太太发兴要寻找附近的国际友谊钟(International Friendship Bell),但是问了一些路人,均不知它在何处,后来在警察局附近得知原来就在博物馆的后面很近的地方,一位开车巡逻的警车并自告奋勇开车带领我们到那里,警察不知我们为何要参观这个地方,因为很少有人专门来这里参观,他还以为我们是日本人。

 

到了那里我们才知道在公园路边有一个纪念厅,亭子中挂着一口不大不小的钟,上面写着国际友谊钟,是一些日本和平主义人士为纪念194586日本广岛和89日长琦遭受美国原子弹袭击而死亡的人们而专门在原子弹试验地建立的。这一别具匠心的设计和思路显然让人们记住日本是原子弹的受害者,同时也从侧面含蓄地告诉人们当时美国试验原子弹具有非正义性。记得2000年我们参观联合国总部时也注意到大厅里专门陈列广岛手原子弹袭击的残骸,同样含蓄告诉人们日本是受害者。然而加害人是谁呢,他们却从来不提日本军国主义者和日本天皇的。

200396(纽约时间),星期六(农历八月初四日),晴,温度Dayton地区

08:30—16:15,OHIO的首府哥伦布市的哥仑布大学

先看市中心,再到历史中心参观

接着去哥伦布大学,该大学据称是美国学生最多的大学之一,有55千人,Olentangy River横贯其中。哥伦布大学图书馆(University Libraries, www.lib.ohio-state.edu)参观,去看艺术馆、艺术史学院,因为没有开学而未能进入。哥伦布大学图书馆被称为拥有500万册印刷品图书和400万缩微胶卷,是19世纪北美最大的研究性图书馆。它有一个庞大的系统,包括主馆和12个科目图书馆27个部门和特藏图书馆:University Archives; Bagges Memorial Library; Biological Sciences and Pharmacy Library; Business Library; Cartoon Research Library; Children’s Hospital Library; Edgar Dale Media Center; Education Human Ecology Psychology & Social Work Library; Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies; Food, Agriculture Sciences Library; Fine Arts Library; Geology Library; Prior Health Science Library; Journalism Library; Moritz Law Library; Thompson (Main) Library; Science & Engineering Library; Theatre Research Institute; Veterinary Medicine Library.) 图书馆“Our collection includes almost six million print items, 30000 subscriptions to magazines, journals, and newspapers, over 350 online databases, and many other media resources such as music recordings, videotapes, and electronic books and journals. In addition, as part of the Ohio LINK consortium we have access to 20 million items from the combined collections of over 75 academic libraries in Ohio. most of which can be checked out and delivered to any Ohio State Library for pickup within three to five days, Also, we provide access to the CIC(Big 10 + University) Libraries and regular interlibrary loan borrowing from just about any library in the World.)

 

图书馆的Electronic Resources有六类检索资源:OSCAR(Ohio State Catalog for Automated Retrieval, www.lib.ohio-state.edu); OhioLINK(catalog of Ohio Colleges, Universities, and the State Library); CIC Libraries’ Catalog(Catalog for the Big Ten + Universities)WorldCat (Combined Catalog of thousands of Libraries Worldwide)Electronic Databases; Electronic Journals 。此外,图书馆的文章检索(Locate articles published in magazines, journals, and newspapers)也引人注目(http://www.lib.ohio-state.edu/find/subject.php for latest listing of databases by subject)

 

1992-200210年完成的OhioLINK对于整合Ohio地区的图书资源起了重要作用,1999年有20个研究单位连接,2000000 Online,增加26Databases4000万人次搜索研究,下载文件800万份。2000年有2个研究单位连接,3000Online,增加5Databases5000万人次搜索研究,下载文件1300万份。20017000万人次搜索研究。

2002年又有4个研究单位连接,4000Online8000万人次搜索研究,下载文件2500万份。在2002年目录包括Ohio17个普及性和研究性大学、23个社区和专业技术学院,州立俄亥俄图书馆, 还有42所独立学院。1994年参加的研究单位只有9所,2002年已经发展到83所。据从事图书馆工作多年的专家L先生介绍,现在OhioLINK已经发展为全国行的图书信息连接,只要通过WWWInternational Resource 查询OCLCOnline Computer Library Center)就可以获得需要的图书信息资源。

 

图书馆给我们的突出印象是对象上的全民性开放,内容上无封闭开放,方法上的全开架开放和时间上的全天侯开放。图书馆的对象并不局限于大学生和教员,人们可以自由进出图书馆而不需要任何证件;所有图书除了特藏和副本几乎全部开架,极大方便读者阅读和查阅;开放时间长,例如主馆星期一至四,7:45—12:00M, 星期五7:45—10pm, 星期六8am—10pm,星期日11-12M,可见每天开放时间均在13-16小时间,中午并不闭馆。

 

该馆的中文图书和期刊十分丰富。仅中文图书书架就有装满了两层楼,大陆的、台湾的、香港的和东南亚及欧美的中文图书均有,没有意识形态的干预,这对于研究人文社会科学十分重要,十分有利于读者大自由和独立的阅读和研究。在文学图书中,我们发现这里有不少红楼梦的版本书、译本书和最新出版的红楼梦研究著者,也有不同版本的金瓶梅等。

中午在附近中餐馆(Joy’s Village, 614-297-7723)用餐,走了三家都不开帐,原因是还没有开学,学校需要到922日才开学,估计他们还要休息十天半个月光景。这里在地下室,是一位天津人开的餐馆,我们在这里吃雪里蕻肉丝面,每份5元,总共1659元,我连同小费付了18元。这位女老板将这个店盘下已经好几年了,看来平日生意很好,主要有哥伦布大学学生作常客。

 

饭后再去学校主图书馆(University of ,那时来自各地来观看美国足球赛的数万人已经进入场地。

 

顺便提到图书馆研究中心(The Center for Research Library, CRL).www.crl.edu)包含Newspapers超过16000条;博士论文超过80万条,政府文件和穿物,杂志等。

15:35分离开图书馆走上回程路,路过球场,估计那里云集了数万人之多,汽车已经停满,

 

6:00—635 分,到附近中餐馆用餐,

18:40—20:00 在中餐馆请袁清夫妇吃饭。

20:00—21:15Dayton Mall采购

21:15-21:30,返回袁家

21:40分给Y通电话。

2150分,发现831日——96日日记全部丢失,原因不明。

Ma Avenue , Columbus, OH 43211, www.ohiohistory.org),附近还有Harding Home, Hayes Presidential Center, Neil Armstrong Air and Space   Museum.

 

 

 200397(Dayton时间),星期日(农历八月十一日),大晴,温度Somers 地区F64—F85(18C—30C)

 

昨天下午6点半电脑关机,晚上近10点回家打开电脑发现本周日记全部丢失,而且没有办法恢复,损失惨重。如果不能恢复问题就大了,这等于来Dayton的日记全部白写。

 

昨天下午6:00-6:30,继续帮助袁清割草,经过两次实践对于除草已经基本学会, 像袁清家这样的园子,夏天需要五六天就割一次,每次两个小时,如果请“老墨”来干,则每次40元(不计另外拔野草6个小时在内)。

 

07:3410秒,检查文件68681,没有发现病毒。

估计OHIO之行11页日记丢失恢复需要整整三四天时间。只有先恢复主要日程表,再逐步完善。

 

上午8点用早点

 

上午11:15-11:40,在袁先生家附近照相,我们的照相机镜头又重新清晰起来,原因不明。

 

上午对于OHIO之行的日程进行列出一个提纲,以便回家后陆续补写:

去辛辛那提中国餐馆龙城(Dracon City Buffer)8315 Beechmont Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45255),我们的车来这里其实并不顺,需要绕道行进。这家年轻郑老板,YQ太太也很熟,他也希望请她帮助做保险。为我们服务的是一位叫做初小姐的,据说她是烟台人,嫁给了一位朝鲜人,在美国开餐馆,后来破产,他们夫妇都到别人开的餐馆打工了。据郑老板说,在这条大道上开的中餐馆有20多家,不过他并不担心竞争,因为许多别的中餐馆老板都自己或派人来参观他的餐馆。原来他们的餐馆不仅规模大,设备新颖,而且供应的品种多而适应面广 All you can eat Over 150 Fresh items daily,我在这里做了一个即时统计共148种。他们还规定4岁以下儿童免费,60岁以上老年人打九折。这家中餐馆以海鲜见长,可以自选熟食海鲜,也可以任选生海鲜用火锅,还有铁版烧,寿司和甜食等。因为和老板熟悉,他还专门为我们做了先烤的点心,最后收费减少了50%。这家餐馆白天自助餐成人5.25,儿童4-105.25,晚上8.75,儿童5.75,海鲜晚上成人9.75元。我们这一顿饱尝,估计是将本捞回来了。 

回到家已经10:16

10:25分给Z&Y通电话,报平安

12:00睡觉

 

2003-09-05(星期五)

14:10-17:40分去Wright State University

先去图书馆,再去学校超级市场采购

 

2003-09-06(星期六)

08:30—16:15,OHIO的首府哥伦布市的哥仑布大学

先看市中心,再到历史中心参观

接着去哥伦布大学图书馆参观,去看艺术馆、艺术史学院,因为没有开学而未能进入。中午在附近中餐馆用餐,走了三家都不开帐,原因是还没有开学,学校需要到922日才开学,估计他们还要休息十天半个月光景。这里处于哥仑布大学的主要大道上,沿路有几十家餐馆,而大学城内有大量中国学生和对于中餐馆有浓厚兴趣的顾客,尽管地处地下室,但是这里是商业中心的必经之地,所以生意兴隆是没有问题的.参观女老板是天津人,前些年盘下这个饭馆,有一个孩子在私立大学上学。我们在这里吃了雪里蕻肉丝面,每份5元,总共1659元,我连同小费付了18元。

 

饭后再去学校主图书馆,那时来自各地来观看美国足球赛的数万人已经进入场地。

 

15:35分离开图书馆走上回程路,路过球场,估计那里云集了数万人之多,汽车已经停满,

 

6:00—635 分,到附近的中餐馆(4492 Indian Ripple Road, Beavercreek, Ohio, 45440) 用餐,这是离YQ家最近的一家中餐馆。

18:40—20:00 在中餐馆请袁清夫妇吃饭,这是一次回请,四菜一汤,共42元(连同小费),价格也比较适中,但量不是很多。有意思的是,这家中餐馆的菜单并没有中文字,YQ太太和这家老板也很熟悉。老板说抽时间要请叫买保险的问题。

20:00—21:15Dayton Mall采购

21:15-21:30,返回袁家

21:40分给Y通电话。

2150分,发现831日——96日日记全部丢失,原因不明。

 

14:25—15:10,袁先生送我们到Dayton国际机场。这里的交通管制很严,汽车不准在国际机场门口停留,也不准没有飞机票的人进候机大厅。所以袁先生在候机楼门口和我们告别。

15:10—16:00,是登机前的检查和进入卫星厅时间。首先要到E-Ticket窗口办理飞机票登记确认座位和托运行李手续。行李的托运需要经过专门的机器仔细检查,我们没有行李托运,所以确认座位(F8D8)后即排队等候安全检查。Dayton下午的班机很多,在安检处排起了长龙,估计是周末结束赶回纽约、华盛顿等地上班。进入卫星厅前先要验票。验票后进入等待安全检查的长龙,除了所有的包、电脑和随身带物都要检查外,还需要脱鞋通过安全检查。我们顺利通过检查,不过还是有些人属于仔细复查之列,那就需要全身检查和翻箱细查了。过了安全检查关就进入卫星厅等待登机。代顿的卫星厅相当的大,并不亚于原来的首都机场。我们的班机在C14(另外有AB两大卫星厅群),那里已经有不少旅客在卫星厅等候登机。

 

16:10分开始登机,我们乘座USAirways4844航班的是小飞机,满员48座,左1218排,在由边上方可以放小件随身行李,但是稍为大些的随身行李则要求交由机场行李员集中放在机尾货仓内。我试图自己带入座位上,但为身高1.8米以上的空中小姐所劝阻。我们的座位是8D8F(同排有A并没有BC),位于中前排。

 

16:30US4844Q航班正式起飞,由Dayton 直飞纽约LGA机场。虽然是小飞机但是十分平稳,毫无不舒适的感觉。由于路程545英里(877公里),总共飞行1小时49分,所以飞行高度可以用肉眼看到地面的山川和公路轮廓,加上今天的天气格外晴朗,能见度好,所以在飞机上可以悉心高空观察大地风光。飞行了40分钟左右,开始供应一顿点心,这顿点心质量之差可谓 创历史阶段 新低。每人一小包微型饼干,总共20小块,纯重才5盎斯(14.2),此外供应水、苹果汁或可口可乐,说明现在的航空公司运营境遇困难。这架飞机总共才三位工作人员飞行员、机师及空中小姐各一位。

 

1750点,飞机已经进入纽约上空,18点开始下降,1810分已经在LGA登陆在跑道上等待进港,1819分,正点在LGA卫星厅前停机。我们告别空中小姐走下梯子,等待行李员将机仓内的随身行李取出,领出行李后即走过候机楼和在行李房门口等候我们的Y相会,这时才1840分,这一路并没有任何检查,和平日并无区别,使人们忘却现在正是“9·11”事件两周年的前夕。

 

18:30Y来接,开车去法拉盛地区香港超级市场附近的停车场停车,我们来到附近的飘发廊理发店理发,这家理发店为华人所开,也有马来人在这里打工的,水洗头发加有捏骨舒筋的服务,为美国店所没有。我理发12元,比在Somers16元要便宜,但比袁清说的2元要贵得多。在附近中国店吃饭,期间给袁清通电话,在香港城采购。

法拉盛136-11 38th Ave. Flushing NY 11354的新天地美食小吃有特价午餐Lunch Special$4.95,附赠汤与白饭。营业时间从1100am—10:30pm,星期五六则1100—12:00pm 该小吃店内容丰富,有小吃32种,小炒58种,面、米粉、年糕、河粉22种,饭23种,汤5种,主厨推荐19种,可以满足不同需求。这里的不仅量足而且价格也比较便宜,我们三人要了一碗肉丝雪里蕻汤面(4.25,比在哥仑布的5元要便宜),一盘星洲炒米粉(5.5),和荀炒肉丝(6.95)并没有吃完,老板娘还专门说明,这里的雪里蕻是自己腌的。

20:30—21:30,由法拉盛回到Somers

22:35,Z为我的电脑作检查,未能找回在Dayton写了丢失的文件。

晚上12点睡觉。
