Saving...
Saturday - July 11 Had another hours practice on stunts. Still haven't mastered the slow roll very well - one more hour in which to get the word. Our flight had a final check in ABC formation the last hour today. We didn't even get joined up - about everything went wrong - have to take it over I guess. Went to supper at Jim Carroll's. Enjoyed thoroughly a home cooked meal. Checked in at the Patrician Hotel about midnite. Sunday - July 12 Slept late & then did some Science reading for an hour & a half. Read more in Pringles biography of Theo. Roosevelt until Marvin came in about 1 oclock. He stayed at the base last night & took a bus downtown around noon. We went down to the beach for awhile & then to a movie. Had a fine supper at the Seven Seas & then back to the base.
