I am correcting S2 Biology quizzes and I am impelled to record some of the answers. Paul Lubega on the function of the mirror of a microscope. “The light comes to the mirror and this sends up the light through the object on the slide and then the object is seen flatly in the eyepiece”:

It is a semi-rainy afternoon here, and we are sitting in the living room in front of the radio. Gemini 8 is being launched today and VOA is broadcasting it. The Gemini target rocket just left the pad. We really appreciate VOA. (FMP).

I just cut Jim’s and Lou’s hair – bad job on Lou. The launch of the capsule is about 30 minutes hence – Dinner now- It is 7:30 PM here.

It’s now about 8:00 PM. Hassan came up about 15 minutes ago and we three listened to the two men shoot off into space. Wow! What can I say? (FMP).
