Dear Jane: 
Hopefully a quick note before leaving for Pier 1*0 to meet the 
Shearwater, due in at 5 pm today. Herb also got in last nighty and 
called this morning. We had lunch together, and Billie is driving him 
around a bit this afternoon. Also, Pitch arrives at the airport tonight 
at 6:10 pm. Either Joan or I will dash out from Pier 4O to meet him. 
Ho one here, of course, knows him, but we better make connections because 
his letter said if he wasn't met he would head for the H Walkaki"Hotel, 
which is a figment of someone's imagination, I found Bob Tuxson all right 
when he arrived. 
But this afternoon and evening will be hectic, and I'm sorry for Herb 
that he had to hit here on Shearwater arrival day. We'll take things as they 
come and perhaps I'll see him again sometime tonight. h e leaves tomorrow 
morning and is due at Dulles Sunday noon, as I imagine you know. He reported 
the trip was quite successful considering its length and the complications 
involved. 
We hired a secretary yesterday. Mrs, Esther Morgan, She has a child 
or two in upper school, and her husband is here for at least two years 
(not military). She seemed the nicest of the lotj Joan and I are both 
verv pleased. We told the two next best applicants that we would like to 
hold their names just in case our choice did not turn out. Mrs, Morgan 
will come in Monday to start, giving two days overlap with Joan. I told 
her to get some Form 57's filled out, and we'll plan to send you a couple 
„as soon as possible, 
Hope you got the wire about Kridler* s turns tone, banded March 11, 1961* 
on Lisianski. 
If we make connections properly I can give this to Herb to take back 
to you. We were real happy to see him, and wish things hadn t been so 
hectic. 
Everything else O.K. for the moment, but SIC lU may bring in problems, 
I've got to run now. 
Aloha
