Barrow Maelean 1966 29 August College to Barrow, Alaska Spent the morning in West's lab grinding birds and beginning fat extraction. West's assistant, a real nice Chinese girl named Martha Meng, helped and agreed to weigh the final product so that I could leave today. Visited with Dr. Brina Kessel, then went through the U. of A. skin collection (not too impressive) and public museum (more impressive - very interesting). Finished up at the Lab, then catched a ride to the airport and caught the F-27 back to Barrow. Flew above the clouds all the way - didn't see a thing. Landed just after 8:00 P.M., Barrow was cold and windy, with snow on the ground. Found one of my bags missing. Went into A.R.L. to stow gear and clean up, then drove into Barrow village and spent the rest of the evening there.
