Gill, Douglas SE 1964 at Los Angeles at 9:10 p.m. HST or 12:10 a.m. PDT. I ate a huge expensive hamburger at a coffee and snack bar and was amused at an incredibly ugly foreigner with a huge beatle haircut and outlandish suit. We left Los Angeles around 1:10 PDT and arrived at Chicago at 6:20 CDT. After waiting for an hour and debating whether I should call Helen or no we finally left on TWA No. 500 and prop plane. We got a breakfast from the rude stewardesses and had a boring flight. We landed at Friendship Airport in Washington, D. C. at 11:15 EDT. We took a taxi to the Vivian Hotel and got a room in this flea-bitten Hotel. We then walked to S. I. and melted from the oppressive humidity. We were gradually greeted by one and all.
