August 9 - -I got up this morning about 0500 to take Kepler to Hickum 
field. It was a good thing we were there about 1 l/2 hours early because 
he was lacking a JFT stamp. After getting some sergeant out of the sack 
5 times he got bared and things were all set then. We went to the zoo 
this afternoon. I saw many birds I had never seen before. This 
evening I took Warren to the airport to catch the plane back to 
the mainland 
Au gust 1 0- -I met Bob Long today. I put up a bunch of 
plants. The Oriental girls look very good in their tight 
skirts . 
August 11 - -Put up more plants today. Some of them didn't look too hot, 
but Bob wanted a lot done. Many of the plants were not pressed and very 
good, but if I had been sea sick like Bob, I doubt that I would have 
done as good . 
August 12 --Bob didn't show up this morning. I mounted the rest of the 
plants he had out. This afternoon I did some running around and got 
Kepler's bino's ready to send to him. 
August 1$ — This morning was spent getting thins ready to go. I left 
Honolulu at 1740, as usual the plane was 40 minutes late. I arrived 
in Kona at 2045- Since all the hotels were full because of the 
fishing tournament I stayed at the airport all night in a chair. It 
wasn't too bad though, because the boys at the airport were in a good 
mood. After several snorts of scotch I was in a very good m&od. After 
they left, I listened to geckos and some sea bird , but I couldn't 
identify it.
