This has been a full and wonderful day. First, soon after breakfast, Fred called up and asked if I would go to the show with Dick Jarvis and himself tonight. Of course I was delighted and told him so. Then after June and I had come home from Sunday School Johnny Watkins called up and said he was on the “Gold Star” for the weekend and that we (June & I) were invited aboard for lunch. Our host was a boy about as old as Johnny, Hamilton Cook. Those boys tried to act so old I almost laughed in their faces. I guess it was because I was along. They kept pulling cigarette packages and holder out of their pockets by mistake (?). June had told Mom to come for us at about 1:30 to take us to the show so we invited the boys to come along. But there was some misunderstanding and we waited until 2 o’clock and they didn’t show. We decided they had gone and left us so we went down to the show in a garage car. When we got in the car John and Ham pulled out their cigs and started smoking. I nearly died. June grinned all over, pleased as pie. We got down to the show just as Mom & Pop were leaving. We hailed them. We went home with them then. I drove the car back and we went to the show. It was Bebe Daniels in “Stranded in Paris”. It was a good picture. After we had taken the boys back to the boat and were driving home I noticed June had on Johnny’s Air Service pin. Fred and Dick came after me at 10 to 9. We went to see “The Actress.” I had more fun than a picnic. They acted like a couple of kids. They certainly gave me a happy evening.
