Lehner, P. 1964 Dec. 6 drowned at 5:00 A.M. by the phone ringing and a voice telling me a taxi would be there in 15 minutes; I packed, gave Stadel $20 to give to Woodward, who was to take my two glass balls back to Washington with him; the taxi got me to Hickam where I checked in and then fell asleep watching Joe Brown trying to get on a flight; the plane left at 7:30 getting me to Johnston at 10:40 A.M.; I called Sand Is. to try to get a VP over after me, but had to wait for an M boat so I thought, later Joe Brown and then the VP arrived with Dr. Kirkpatrick and we headed for Sand; I got unpacked, looked around the island and they caught up on lost sleep.
