Their journey is summarized best by Dr. Stimps: "Life is complex with many vagaries, eddies, side trails, offshoots, and hidden passages. We are always converging. Occasionally a common thread somehow weaves its way through a seemingly random group of people to create a shared convergence. What a great one it was!"
