Radio broadcast—our job training program officially begins. Golf game laid on at Andrews A.F. base—Don Regan & Geo. B. Then dinner party for Princess Margaret Rose. I’ve never played worse golf. For the 1st time I had actually forgotten the basics which like swimming I’d always assumed would never leave me. I bent my left arm on the back swing, kept my weight on my right leg & had a loose grip on the club. Well at least I realized all that before the game was over. The dinner party was great—everyone had a great time. Marvin Hamlish entertained. He was brilliant. The Wyatts & Claudette Colbert were our house guests.
