Sat. was a beautiful Spring like day. We took 2 hikes. Sun. the fog moved in & it was a day by the fire. We ran the movie “Purple” & it was a magnificent job of picture making. Mon. a holiday and a near blizzard. Word came we had to leave early or risk not getting out of Camp. The 1st 10 min’s. of the Marine 1 flight were the roughest we’ve ever had in a Helo. But it straightened out & we’re back at the W.H. A haircut at 5 P.M. and a house guest for dinner—Maureen.
