Lehmer, P. 1964 10 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
