July 25. took Cam, Ken and Paul to
the Univ. of Hawaii at 7:00 to meet
friends and go to Coconut Island skindiving;
I decided to take some pictures; took pictures
along Kalaniamole Highway, up the Pali Hwy.
and back to Waikiki Beach; ran into Sandy +
Marilyn again in the evening - no sleep - another
party in Waikiki International Competition).
July 26 met taxi at Hawaiian King at 5:00 A.M.;
arrived at Hickam at 5:20 ; upon reaching the
counter after a long dreary wait-in-line, I was
courteously told that I was not booked for
the flight - I flew to ATCO upstairs, woke
up the fink on duty and explained the
situation; after he had yawned, rubbed his
eyes and scratched his chest (which was down
around his belt) he proceeded without direction
to paw through the papers in front of him
(I think he was looking for a cigarette); just
then D. Thomas walked in (the "professional filler"
who had discussed the reservation situation with
Dr. Ely on the 14th and had been perfectly
described to me by Dr. Ely); my name rang a
bell with him and he dug into the file drawer
removing the card that could not be found on
the 18th - I had been booked for the 22nd
