It is now well known that object 1983 TB, discovered by IRAS, has an orbit very similar to that of the Geminid meteor stream. Calculations show that this orbit crossed over the orbit of Venus about 500 years ago. We will describe calculations tracing the history of both the object and the stream through this interaction with Venus and the present interaction with the Earth.
