A day in Anchorage. We call Bob Jones and arrange to come tomorrow.
Get rd. trip tickets ($204) at Reeve office. Go to Arctic Health to talk
to Bob Raush and Jim Hemming (neither Fay nor Willi being in) and Jim gives
us a tour of the lab. Environmental sanitation is now cramped into our old
conference room. Got some reprints. Visit colony too with its Lemmus and
Dicrostinix lemmings. Jim saw as many as 150-200 huds, dodwits a day last
month here! Golden eagle and goshawk at farm were taken (released?) by
someone.
Dick Zinsman, Rachel Simmet, Miss Lee and others at coffee. One of my
old 1st aid cla ss recognized me on street today, a blonde girl whose name I
forget--was in Nome at quake time. See Doug Hilliard in front of p.o. and
John Bousman of all people with b ig monstache--brought couple named
Schnieder from Boston back with him and they plan to go in to Marcus Baker and
Goode soon with Helga. At lunch time I talk to Kay Hoshouer in City Planning
then go get maps from Margaret Irvin at their new location on 5th (Cordova
Bldg. empty) and she asks why I don't send in those proofs myself.
No Kilshers live at 212 E. 6 th the woman tells me there. I find Scott
at his office and talk abt. Mt. Marathon (Stockard co-capt. his blue-team)
and Jap. St. Elias Ex.
Meet Helga 1500 hrs. at Jones Bros. but have an interesting talk there
with Peter in his office first.
