Gill, Douglas E. 1964 of good music. Warren knows lots about music and in a very similar interest as I do. We had great fun identifying and enjoying the works on K.A.M., the only good music station in Honolulu. The program had Baroque material and Schubert une Winter reise. Around 0030 we finally hit the sack, but I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about Cam's and Warren's encouraging me to stay with the project to the end.

I spent this Sunday morning doing a cross- word puzzle as well as listen to Schubert's 3rd and some difficult material by Charles Ives. Around noon we decided to go over to the zoo. So we spent the early afternoon going through and enjoying the animals especially the monkeys and birds. When we came back I wrote my journal and finished the crossword puzzle over Beethoven's 4.

We all freshened up a bit and had dinner at the Royal Iansai. The steaks were good. After returning, I dozed while the others relaxed. At 2130 Warren, Dayle, and I drove Warren
