Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians 3 member since 1955. I leave Tom Choate's slides to be copied and buy a copy of Americans on Everest to give to Days. Have fish and chips and chowder at Ivar's for dinner, visit the nice smelly markets, offer a banana to a "hungry" panhandler (he returned it), and stop in library. Call Mrs. Neher (she's been in Anok since quake-- Bill's house OK, Mary Ann marrying someone in Sept. but not Dick), c=ll Bob Byhre for Randall's number and learn Terrey successful on Huntington but not McKinley. Call Francis and make date. Call Al Randall--he has 18 glacier studies on Muldrow. June 3, 1964 Awake before 0600, Bur. of Comm. Fisheries again by 0800 where we talk more with Baltzo learning if we go to St. Paul now we'll have to spend a week. Wilfred Anderson ran us out to the Fisheries Lab on Sand Point Military Reservation where we meet bushy-browed old Vic Sheaffer--I recalled him from Bky. Mtn. Expt. Sta. days, and Karl W. Kenyon. The letter is knowledgeable conservationist who's worked in Central Pacific too, deplores Jones' killing eagles because they take his Aleutian geese and the spraying of his neighbor killing his robins. We have lunch at "The Coals", I riding with Vic in VW after finding out Frank Richardson too tired from fleshing out elephant skeleton to see us. Then we meet Bob French and Chuck Hunter and learn that at-sea observations have been made in various areas of North Pacific since 1956 and that we could put observer on their ship. Meet Al Ropped who'll be on Pribilofs with family and Felix Favorite, oceanographer.
