Lehner, P. 1964 48 Aug. 29 ran routine checks; Sooties still leaving in small numbers; shorebirds picking up in numbers - still mostly Golden Plover and Ruddy Turnstones; about 40 Navy personnel came over for a cookout about 1:00; the C.O. broke out 8 cases of beer for a starter - a lot of eating, drinking and rabble-rousing; I bet Willie I could pick him up over my shoulders, but when I tried both his shirt and pants tore off, so he spent the rest of the beer blast in his drawers; somehow I wrenched my left shoulder again, bruised my left foot, burned my right cheek with a cigar (that's a tough trick), and scraped my right knee - Cam made the nightly rounds, but we put off blood letting and banding.
