Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. — Matthew 10:8-14

We ret’d. to Lexington, arriving at 5:30 PM, going through Atlanta and Idlewild.

Rode home with HS.

Finished the undercoating on Jeep.

My suit from Filene’s was at home on my arrival. One pair pants & the coat fit good, the other pair is slightly tight in the waist. It is good to have a new suit again. First winter one since 1955.

Entered a few more elements onto the data flow diagram.

Left Lab at 3 PM for airport — arrived at Satellite Inn, Cocoa Beach, Florida at 1130 PM.

Rode with HS.

Warm, clear

Left Princeton at 0845 after a good breakfast. Stopped at Eberts Auto Parts on Rt. 46 in Parsipanny, NJ, to get some Jeep and Ford parts. Arrived home at 8 PM.

Talked to Dan Linde in AFOOA re: N-Z etc. Larry Starkey is starting a defense study; he was in a briefing so I’ll have to return to see him. I should also see Rand & NORAD.

Spent two hours with Dr. Wm. E. Wood at 1832 Connecticut Avenue. He didn’t think it a good idea to grind down my teeth to obtain a better bite. Instead he referred me to Dr. Kurt Thoma, 1146 Beacon Street (LO 6-3324) an oral surgeon. He will send a letter to Dr. Thoma with a cc to me.

Went up to Princeton in the afternoon.

Met with Dan Linde in AFOOA to see who is doing what.

Did 2 errands in DCA — then out to see Dr. Wood, DDS, who sent me to Dr. Kurt Thooma in Boston re: my jaw.

Left DCA at 3 PM — arrived in Princeton at 8 PM.

Sat in a classified session on Realtime Comm and an unclassified session on radar which was quite good.

Left Baltimore at 4:30 PM for DCA, where I checked into the Arva Motel after dinner at the Methodist Cafeteria.

Left Baltimore 16:30 for DCA. Stopped at Sears in Bladensburg for an oil change & a new oil filter.

Called Bill Weber after checking in at the Arva Motel on Arlington Blvd. Went out to his home for the evening, which was most pleasant.

Listened to classified sessions all day. Saw Walter Pike of the BRD/FAA briefly; he said BRD is being organized to separate the admin from the technical!

Left for Baltimore at 08:20, arriving at the Baltimore Hotel at 12:00.

Listened to classified talks all afternoon — saw Al Dunbar who is now with Litton Industries. Went out to dinner with Al & Carol Lea, having a most pleasant time.

Rain

Took family to SS, picking up May & John, as Mary is in NH for the weekend. After a good dinner, left for Princeton at 1:28 PM, arriving at 9:30 PM. It was good to see Howard, Winifred and Anne again. Howard may go out to Franklin College in Indiana.

Had 16 copies (1 each) of as many BTL & CAL graphs and tables made for use in the NZ report; 5 are Secret, 4 Confidential, and the remaining 3, Unclassified.

Saw a good film by Lt. Schuman, USN about the bathyscape “Trieste,” is was quite good.

Clear – cooler

Thundershowers & rain most of the night.

JCH quite wakeful — LCH & I got very little sleep.

Went to the Surplus Property Office at Hanscom AFB to see the gear that AKM wanted me to inspect; it is mostly APQ-13 gear. Also saw a Chrysler 3 hp upright water-cooled air conditioning unit and a sump pump.

Took family to Shoppers World to get DCH a suit and a pair of shoes. DCH got a copy of Red Pony, the last of the books he is to read for the summer.

Overcast
Hot – Humid

Left for home at 0830, via Augusta and the Maine Turnpike. The engine continued to overheat. At a sttion on the Turnpike — Kennebunk, ME, I noticed water at the end of the tail pipe and the mechanic found water in the oil. This must mean that a head gasket is leaking into the cooling system! Had lots of trouble the rest of the way home, draining and filling the cooling system three times from the trailer water tank.

Home at 7 PM — odometer 45150 — 2376 miles — 173 gallons gas — 13.7 mpg.

Glad to be home.

Cool – partly overcast

Went on a nature hike on the summit of Cadillac Mtn. for 2 hours. It was fine; perhaps we could come back next year for a week.

LCH & MM went down to Southwest Harbor to see Jeanette Vine, who was taking care of their store.

I took the interference suppression off of the spark plugs; this seemed to make the engine run much better.

The inside of the car needs more coat-hanger hooks, a Light in the rear, and a speaker at the rear.

A pleasant day.

(odo 44872)

Early fog

Took car to Ford agent in Sussex, NB, who found dwell ok, the vacuum line bent badly. He fixed this, but it still heated. I set the timing back, twice but to no avail.

Stopped at 5:45 PM at the Bareadreu Trailer Park on Mt. Desert Island.

Tried again to find the Vine family, but didn’t again.

We may stay here tomorrow.

The Vine’s called after we had turned in.

Rain

A front from the south is going northeast.

We got under way at 0830, and stopped in Charlottetown for some last minute buying. Left on the 1230 boat from Port Borden.

the engine overheats badly; had the timing pointer bent back at Moncton and the engine re-timed to no avail. Retarded timing twice.

Stopped at Pine MbCd, Sussex (odo 44484).

Wind & Rain

The sand at Northumberland Camp was too much for us, so we moved to Brudenell River Provincial Park in the afternoon, doing some sight-seeing on the way. LCH wanted to see her childhood home, so we drove by it on the way to Brudenell.

I picked up a fishing license at Montague from the RCMP, who was quite cooperative in suggesting fishing and camping places.

Cool – Clear

Left Fundy National Park at 0845 and managed to get on the 1:55 PM ferry between Cape Tormentine & Port Borden on P.E.I. We had a bit of lunch during the 55 minute trip across the 12 mile stretch to P.E.I. It was quite pleasant; the steamers are operated by the CNR and Pullman cars are run between Charlottetown, P.E.I. and Montreal. There are 2 tracks on the ferries that terminate in bumpers with standard RR couplers. All autos have to back off the ferries.

There is too much sand & dirt exposed at the new campground we stopped in – a fine beach, tho.

Left on our vacation about 0845, pulling the trailer.

The engine overheated so much I finally stopped twice to have the timing checked and the lower radiator hose removed, as well as the thermostat. We stopped at the State Park at Camden, where I had the points gap checked, finding that they weren’t opening properly!

Camden (4,000 winter – 11,000 summer) is a beautiful town.

Drove home, leaving Princeton at 0900. Stopped for a short time in NY to pick up a headboard at 9 E. 54th Street. It was 100°F in the car all day. Arrived home at 5 PM, having driven up through Connecticut.

Hot – Humid

Left Princeton at 0900; Anne with me to go to Canada with us, Peter to spend some time in N.Y.

Stopped at 9 East 54th Street to pick up a walnut veneer headboard; at $80 I suppose we got our money’s worth. NYC was hot & sticky. Came up the NE Thruway, getting home at 5 PM.

Had a profitable discussion with George Riesz at BTL with Nelson Brigham.

Left at 4 PM, going on down to Princeton.

Hot, Humid

Found a red padded dash and some other parts at Eberts on Rt. 46 in Parsippany.

Left BTL at 4:00 PM and after picking up the parts, drove on down to Princeton. Peter was home and it was good to see him; he seems to have grown up — a tribute to the Marines and his good sense.

Howard and Winifred will pick up DCH at Brookwoods on August 26 so we won’t have to.

Reworked the RT paper, laying out the material for the typist (Gail).

Left the Lab at 1135, stopping at home for lunch. Picked up radio at Maynard, and continued on, arriving at Parsippany at 8:35 PM, after a pleasant ride. Found I had the heat turned on after about 2 hours! It was about 90°F anyway! Arrived at Garden Motor Lodge at 835 PM, couldn’t find Nelson Brigham.

Left for Whippany, NJ at 2:30 PM after getting the car radio in. Arrived at 8:35 PM at Garden Motor Lodge on Rt. 46. Couldn’t find Nelson Brigham.

Overcast – cool

Left Princeton at 10:30 AM; arrived home about 7:15 PM, picking the children up near the railroad station; Mary sent them home on the 6 PM train.

Read about 45 pages of a NZ document.

Fog – drizzle

Went home about 1 PM, stopping for gas & the car radio in Maynard. Left for Princeton about 3:45 PM, arriving at 10:30, tired but glad to get there. We took Nancy.

Rec’d Mass Income Tax refund of $114. Sent it to the bank.

Mary came out to take care of the children.

Left Princeton at 11 AM and found LCH & JCH on time. They had a good trip. I tried at Hudson’s at 105 3rd Avenue to get a coat for Al, but $25.00 was too much.

Went up the NY Thruway & Mass Turnpike, getting home at 1030 PM. We were both tired.

Dr. Lyons took out the rest of the stitches.

Went up to Princeton — LCH on to Boston.

Clear

Left the hospital and went over to the railroad station, taking the 10:41 AM to Trenton. LCH stayed on the train and went on home to take care of the children. Howard and Winifred met me and took me over to Princeton to their home. I’m sore and not well, but hope things will straighten out. The car is supposed to be repaired by the end of the week and LCH will return so we can drive it back.

The hospital bill was $260!

Gave JFN my comments in longhand on his program. Left for Princeton at 3 PM after a physical exam at the MIT clinic and 2-1/2 hours wasted while I waited for some repair on the car. Had to stop twice for a new thermostat & hoses, finally arrived in Princeton at 1030 PM after driving most of the way in a hard rainstorm.

Clear – Rain PM

Up at 0610 to get to the office early, but didn’t get there until after 0800. I have an appointment at the MIT Clinic at 1130 for a physical exam.

After the exam, I had to wait until 2:45 for the car to be tuned and the breather filter cleaned. The engine overheated, and I put in both hoses and a new thermo. It still ran hot until more water was put in.

Arrived at CHH’s at 1030 PM after driving in the rain all the way. It was good to see Howard & Winifred.

Left Oak City for Boston at 0830, transferring to a jet at St. Louis. My seatmate from St. Louis to Boston was a Mr. Masselli of the Electric Power Cooperative in the Midwest that supplies power to the AEC; he must be an executive. I enjoyed talking photography with him as he was carrying a Nikon Reflex with an attached & coupled Light meter with an f2.0 lens. The rangefinder is brilliant. I wish I could get one of these cameras, but it costs $349!

Arrived home about 1900.

Found letter from Mr. Halaby’s office re: the Committee on Safety for the FAA.

Went on to Boston, getting home about 7 PM, after a $10 taxi ride from Harvard Square.

Finally decided to go to Ft. Sill. We were able to get a 1050 TWA flight from Tucson to Oklahoma City. My ticket was re-written twice.

JLV went to his home town in the neighborhood. I decided to go on home tomorrow, with JLV going to Ft. Sill Monday, since he is already in the West (?) rather than coming back out here.

Stayed at the ‘Y’ and went swimming.

Went up to Oklahoma City, where I stayed the night.

Arrived at Ft. Huachuca at 0820, spending the day with the ADP Dept. (Col. M. W. Muller), Major Black, and the RW/CSC people on Nuclear and Intelligence sub-systems. I’m about convinced that we should go to the operations people, say in the 7th Army, for the overall reaction times, rather that to continue going to the functional area people.

Left Ft. Huachuca at 3 PM for Tucson, going via the Saguaro National Monument. It was quite pleasant. Stayed at the Holiday Inn in Tucson. Put in over an hour at the airport getting space back to Boston to arrive earlier that 11 PM.

Spent the day at the ADP Department at Ft. Huachuca going over our need for data, which they did not have.

Went back to Tucson, via the Saguaro National Monument

Left Boston at 0800, arriving at Phoenix about 2:30 PM. Left in an Avis car at 3 PM for Bisby, arriving at 5 PM, where we checked in at the El Rancho Motel.

Windy – warm

Went out to Bisby, Arizona, arriving there about 1700 after a two-hour ride from Tucson

Returned to Boston. What a contrast between the clean West and the dirt of Boston!

Returned to Boston. My, what a contrast the newness and cleanliness of the West is in relation to the dirt and grime of Boston.

Drove home from the Lab in JLV’s Plymouth.
