Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians 7 houses like "illi's. A few shells of houses remain amid tangled trees, but those properties that have been released by their owners are bulldozed off. Dr. Meade is pretty broken up I hear and rumors are wild, but they seem not to have ever found his 2 kids. The worst rumor was that they found them a week later with evidence that Perry'd lived 24 hrs. trapped. Eric Barnes lost house. Boy Scouts cutting up birch for firewood down in Turnagain. That biology teacher of Brenda's died when a crack she fell in closed on her severing both legs and one of her husband's as he tried to help her out. Amazing more lives weren't lost. The last pillars of Penney's I saw equipment removing today. June 6, 1964 This morning I tried to get hold of Scott at YMCA, but he'd left. I'd gotten directions to those girls' apt. by phone from Marj. So I went over there and woke her up but the only mail for me other than USGS proofs was a letter from Carolyn Parker. Marj probably wanted me to show some affection, but her roommate was there and emotions seemed unsuitable. She drove me back to Westward. Col. Wi came in from Ft. Rich and we talked to him. Next I walked down along the r.r. to Chester Flats seeing 2 dowitchers, a lesser yellowlegs, and least sandpipers but no godwits and pond must've been oiled. Stop at Lewises and have lunch with them. Shirley had thought Dave would be "frantic" over earthquake, but the only card he sent was one telling how much he was enjoying "some mountain in N. Mex.". I could have told her as much. Bill Woodward also expressed his concern. They've "adopted" another young fellow a poor servicemen saving money to get married
