Mike in Germany. He was flown there by jet from Fort Lewis, Washington by way of North Pole, about eight hours. It was one of those experiment flights. A nice day. We watched the pictures on TV of those plane flights.

Cold and windy. Betty and I to Portland with Sally. Betty got a new coat and hat, also a few other things for her trip to go away. We went out to the airport. A nice clear day, awful cold and windy. Betty was so pleased with all her things. She is so happy and proud tonight. She never had anything new before of her own buying. I love to see her so happy. She went down to Ferns to show them all to her tonight. A guy who works at Raymond died suddenly this morning.
