Pennsylvania
I was only supposed to be in Pittsburgh a week. A friend and colleague had to leave a project early to take care of some family problems and I was called in to see out the final throes of a major inspection on an old Allis Chalmers turbine. It was a splendid machine, from an era when machine manufacturers were more than assembly-line producers of mass-quantities of goods.
Well, the project ran a little long and my original idea of commuting between NE Ohio and Pittsburgh every day got to be a bit of a chore, but I did manage to visit some family and friends that I hadn't seen in a while and even patched up some differences that had arisen between my father and my brother. After the project was over, my wife brought the children up and we stayed a week in Ohio for our respective high school reunions.
