Up at 7:15 A.M. No breakfast—first a glass of juice. Left the house at 8:40. A final farewell to Anne who lives in Fresno & has told Nancy she’s not physically up to the work anymore. A group of people—friends & relatives of some of our people on hand at the heli-port to see us off. Photos with Highway Patrol etc. Then on to Point Mugu. Phil Regan & Jo plus grandchildren & even a few great grandchildren there for the takeoff of A.F.1 Phil surprised me by breaking down & crying. Then A.F.1 a breakfast or perhaps I should call it brunch about 1:15 Wash. time. Our usual custom for these trips.
An afternoon with a little office work but most of the time reading a book, “Final Flight,” by Stephen Coonts. Finally right on time 4:45 P.M. Wash. D.C. and 10 mins. later the W.H. & it was a rainy day. Showers (the bathroom kind) dinner & an early to bed.
