This was a wonderful day. Took off the S. Lawn in Marine 1 to Andrews then A.F.1 to Parris Island S.C. the Marine basic training center. Saw recruits doing the obstacle courses then addressed a crowd of around 6,000—about 4000 were the recruits. I’ve never been so proud. Then we flew to Greensboro N.C. to do a fund raiser for Cong. Jim Broyhill who is our cand. for Sen. Jim said it was the biggest Pol. fund raiser in N.C. history. I was so well received I could have choked up. Everything went well—even the weather. We landed at Parris in rain which stopped when we got off the plane & sun came out. Back to W.H. around 5 P.M.
