On August 18, an FOCM happy hour (er, I meant to say, “networking) event was held at San Jose’s Tacos & Tequila at 7961 Skyland Ridge Parkway in Raleigh, NC.  The reason: my friend Joanna Williams was in town on business.  Also present at this event were: Gail Fowler, Vince Hoefling and Bill Newcomb.

Gail and I first met in the late 1980’s – we were working at Burroughs Wellcome Co.  I believe we met at a business team meeting for the life-saving medication Digibind.  We later worked together again at Quintiles and then again at ICON.   Here’s the photo of the magic moment frozen in time.
