Last minute news received March 27th from the Pacificoast via Airmail, "4SJ" Ackerman being the sender. PICNIC ON THE PACIFICOAST by Weaver Wright The imagi-natives of Los Angeles had an Easter outing. 4e's flat was selected as the meeting place for the start, since we were not certain, to begin with, whether we should go to the beach or the hills-- depending on the weather. Gri ffith Pk (the hills) won. First to arrive was Bruce Yer- ke, almost a half hour early. Then came Bill Crawford and Paul Freehafer, from Pasadena; closely followed by Ray Brad- bury, Charlie Hornig and Pogo. Morojo showd up soon after, then club director Daugherty; Russ Eodgkins, & finally Vir- ginia 'Limm' Laney & Eleanor 'Brien we were 12 in all.
