Gill, Douglas, E . 
196 * 
supper of lamb chops and com. It was really good and I was proud of myself . 
Just before supper I had a runaround with most of the children staying at 
the hotel; shades of paper boy days. Larry and Dayle were enjoying rum drinks. 
I enjoyed the Brahms program and finally hit the rack at midnight after re- 
m 
vising the dark rump paper. 
II August 1964 } Around 0145 I heard a knocking at the door, I got up and 
helped David Bratley in with all his gear and then hit the sack again. 
Larry was a riot in his stupor of inebriation; he was stretched out on the 
floor and would frequently produce a loud long drawn out morn or a torrent 
of oratory. At 0700 or so Larry drove Dayle over to the University to help 
Bob for the day. I got up around 0950 and broke my fast. We all went out 
to Gasp-o, LID to buy some dry ice for the birds. Dave drove us out to Ely's 
thereafter (he tends to hot rod). He discussed the latest news from Sand. 
We left and Dr. Ely made no mention of new developments for me to stay on 
other than a cryptic phrase that he had 25 people for 24 positions. Soon 
after returning to the hotel, Dave and I went to the Colonial House Cafeteria 
for lunch. We discussed my decision of staying on the project or not. We 
squandered the afternoon, Larry putting up a few more skins, I revising the 
dark rump paper, and Dave writing letters. The afternoon went by quickly. 
\ 
After picking up Dayle Larry put on his lava lava suit and skinned another 
bird. Dayle and Dave went out to eat and didn't come back: undoubtedly 
philandering. I put up a fairy tern using an excelsior body. It didn't 
come out especially well, but better than the last two. I read several 
things out of boredom, while listening to several Variations on the radio.
