found it extremely interesting, as I always do anything that concerns Britain's sturdy Prime Minister.  He is the man in history who has completely caught my fancy and imagination.  I read his every speech and writing with absorbing interest.  He is a man of thought, of action, of resolution, and the man of the hour in the world's greatest crisis.
Thursday - June 25
Finished checking out except for that which can't be done until the day I leave, tomorrow.
Played nine holes of golf by myself.  Not nearly so enjoyable as when you have companionship.
Went out to Martines for supper with Hotchkiss, Barker, & Glen Carlson from Chariton.  Will be the last meal I'll take out there for a long time.
Kay Kyser and troupe were on the station for their weekly evening show.  I had no ticket so couldn't go - Guess they were very good.
Said goodbye to Len Swelt & Welsh two good boys now in P-boats.
