Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians Monday, June 1, 1964 Lug it all to airliner terminal at 0600, meet Win. Cloudy day as we fly United over Appalachians, but opens up some later as we approach Kansas City. When is Susannah getting married, today? No, I call her from the KC airport where we're stopped extra-long changing a tire and it's Thursday. She sounds happy and has moved into her apartment. A sailor from Joplin fresh from 2 years in Japan and heading for 2 more on Adak sits with me. Didn't get Fuji, says men are allowed to go out in pairs to climb Adak's snow capped peak he hears. Rainy in Denver but we get off briefly and I see Margaret Irvin from area USGS office who gets on our plane, but doesn't recognize me when I speak to her. I don't blame her--she's never seen me all dressed up. Rockies cloud-covered. Portland 1230 Pac./Sav. Time, lots of robins, Kestrel, and cliff swallow as we limousine to expensive ($8.25 each for double) Hotel Benson. I change from climbing boots to street shoes and we're soon off to U.S.F.&W. Div. of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Regional office by cab. Win used to be at Red Rock Refuge and knows all these people so we talk all afternoon. Gene Kridley, the new "on-the-island" Hawaii Refuge Mgr. is here and has problem of FAA wanting to fill in that pond off end of Maui airstrip to reduce duck hazard. We get some names of people to contact including Peter and Nancy McRoy (U. of Wash.) and I learn that Lern Borns is at Kodiak now, having worked at Cold Bay with Jones for some time. This evening I walk to a wooded hill park about a mile away. One slate color junco, tree and r.f. swal., Fox spar., goldfinch, pine
