Gill, Douglas E. 1964 arrangements for Sand Island, and Dr. Ely was typing letters. I was filling out forms for SI and recording expenses. We got involved in a political discussion. As the afternoon wore on Dr. Ely and I discussed birding and banding techniques back on the mainland. Privately Dr. Ely conferred with me about the contents of my journal. It seems some sections are more of personal interest rather than appropriate for publication and he was offering me the opportunity to delete what I wanted to before it was typed up and published. I tentatively decided to let it go as is, pending further consultation. Our conversation about my past experience and bird problems in general was exhilarating. We finally decided to go and we three cheer- fully sang ewie kleine Nachtmisid on the way back. Cam and Warren went surfing soon after getting back, while I relaxed. Then Warren, Cam, Dayle and I went to the Viking Restaurant, an expensive but wonderful Norwegian or Swedish restaurant in another part of Honolulu. It was a gay evening as Warren, Cam, and I eagerly discussed our respective interests and discoveries in music. What a joy these two guys are. They are so incredibly fascinating, interesting, interested in so many things humanities, Shakespeare, music, philosophy, psychology, science. It has been a perfectly thrilling and warming experience to talk to them today - a breath of fresh air after two months of stifling. The menu was exciting, and the waitress was a most friendly helpful German. I enjoyed the meal thoroughly. I wish I had met these two guys earlier and widh they both weren't leaving tomorrow: Cam for Sand Island for two months and Warren for a two month vacation. We returned and Cam went out for a date. Warren and I were humored by a drunk Huber, read his journal (which is a riot) and enjoyed a couple of hours
