James Gross Posts: 2 Joined: 20th Oct 2008 Location: USA	quotePosted at 08:18 on 15th December 2008 Hello all, I'm Jim. I'm 51, from Palo Alto, CA. Presently, I'm a product design student at San Francisco State University. After spending many years working in Silicon Valley, I returned to school to get that bachelors degree that I didn't get back in the day. Graduation planned for Spring, 2009. I was raised by an English Grandmother, born in Watford, Hertfordshire in 1898, so my appreciation of all things British began early in life. One of my travel goals is to visit Watford, and investigate family history. Any family history sleuthing tips fellow POEers may have would be greatly appreciated! I have been to the UK twice, Scotland in 1997 for work, and a pub New Years in London in 2002/03. Can't wait to get over there again! I can't remember how I came upon this site, but sure glad I did. Cheers!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It's a great website and forum and I just know you will get a fantastic welcome from the rest of the family members. I'm not too far away from Watford here in Oxford, but you will be able to check out Watford via Pictures Of England.com. Enjoy it and join in when you can!

Was on a trip to San Jose and while boyfriend was in class I traveled by bus and rail car to see all the sites! Even got to San Francisco for a day. Nice area!
