and Hackman for dinner. I had been admiring this young girl by the poolside all afternoon and was quite infatuated over her. She (her name is Ann, as I overheard) probably is no more than 14, but has a real cute face and figure and appeared to be lonesome. After getting up my courage I went over and asked her if she would join me for dinner. She apologized that she already had eaten and didn't think she ought to join me. I couldn't persuade her and was disappointed. I imagine I must look pretty fearsome. So I wandered alone into the Market Place, watched the entertainment center for a while, then walked along Waikiki looking for a place to eat. I shose the Royal Lanai and decided to have a steak and some red wine, just for experimental sake. I was sitting in a small booth and opposite sat two beautiful girls, one blonde, the other black, with outlandish coiffures. They noticed me, asked me why I was alone, and asked me to join them. I nearly fell out of my chair but kept an air of confidence and proceeded to move my meal over to their small table, but the manager told me three couldn't eat at the table for two. So I promised I would join them as soon as I finished my meal. I was shaking as I ate my steak and sipped my wine. Once or twice during the meal, they again commented on my loneliness. By this time I had finished, they had to leave, so another opportunity to associate with women was lost. I sipped the last of my wine and revelled in my popularity. I walked back to the hotel feeling the effects of the wine. I cheerfully told Larry and Doug of my aborted opportunities and of course was made sport of. I packed most of my stuff for Maui, showered, started a letter to Mom and Dad and finally hit the sack after midnight, having enjoyed some more Mozart. 4 August Fred came in real early 4:30 or 5 and got Doug to drive him and his wife to the airport. They were going to spend a couple of days vacationing in Hawaii.
