Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
I arrived home on Wednesday. Although I was eager 
to reach home and it is sure nice to be here, in retrospect 
the expedition now seems to have been all too short. Mr. 
Bredin was on campus yesterday and ’phoned from the President ’s 
office. He is a warm-hearted person, as you well know, 
interested in others. I was glad he called. He left for 
Spain today. 
Our Public Relations Office ran an article on the 
expedition in the alumni magazine, page 7, enclosed. They 
did a good job, J think, on the overall coverage we received. 
One of our students assembled an attractive exhibit last 
month on the expedition, using the National Geographic map, 
my postcards and comments, along with a model of a Spanish 
galley. The exhibit attracted much attention. 
Also enclosed is an article I wrote for the Wilm- 
ington Public Schools newspaper (see pages 2, 4, and 5). 
Thought you would be interested. 
It is not easy to fully describe the oratitude 
that I have that Mr. Bredin and you took me on the expedition. 
The experiences gained and the opportunity to exchange ideas 
and natural history knowhow with you. Jack, and John, has 
been invaluable. I am particularly, scientifically, in your 
debt for having the opportunity to be with you and "soak" up 
some of your flair for doing things. 
I am looking forward to coming to Washington when 
are ready for review, so that I can see you and 
Jack again. Please do not write except to tell me when to 
come down.
