We were airborne bound for Honolulu at about 7:30 A.M. their time. 51⁄2 hrs. later landed at Hickam field. A big reception—mainly mil. & their familys plus a big group of kids—members of “Just say no” club. Greeted by Gov. & top brass. Then on our way to Hemmeter home which had been made available to us. On the way surprised everyone with a side trip to a hospital. We visited a 13 yr. old Filipino boy who is a terminal Leukemia case. We had helped get a visa for his grandmother to lv. the Philippines & come to be with him—she had raised him.
Hemmeter home is right on the Ocean—a lot of sailboard action there. Admiral Hay—Pacific Commander came to brief me on our mil. setup in the Pacific. Later I phoned Pres. Marcos & Imelda—Nancy talked to her for an hour. They have not given up on returning to the Philippines & to the office which he claims is still his.
