The usual radio cast at 12:06 in the Oval O. The rest of the day was reading—homework & packing. Last night we got a phone call from Mrs. Zieman (she speaks perfect Eng.). They have arrived & are in Boston.

Got a phone call about 2 P.M. today—Admiral Zumwalts son died of cancer. He was one of the Vietnam group that was exposed to Agent Orange. It’s believed this was the cause of his cancer. Tomorrow we’re off for New Orleans & then Calif.
