Cade 1957 General Account 24 May- Left L.A. international at 0800 via United Airlines to Seattle. Arrived there at 1330 Seattle time and transferred to Pan Am, leaving for Fairbanks at 1400. Arrived Fairbanks at 1810, their time. John Brackley and his family met me at the airport and took me out to College, where I had a room reserved in one of the new men's dorms, the Andrew J. Measland Hall. 27 May Remained on campus all day talking to various people and reading various field reports Brackley wanted me to see. Had a brief visit with Olaus Murie just before he was to go down to Anchorage to give some talks to boost the plans for setting aside the wilderness area of the eastern Brooks Range. He seemed to be quite encouraged by the local enthusiasm for such a withdrawal. Also had a chance to read George Schaller's report on the Sheenjek River last year. He had some observations from the head of the Iago River - one of them was of Snow lemmings with fireflies.
