I expected the sun today but it didn’t come. We had an awful test in Trig. At three this afternoon I start out with Jack & Steve on a sights seeing tour. First we went to the cemetery near the house. There we started off to see the church where the wood carvings are but we ran out of gas. Steve went back and after about half an hour we were on our way again. After the church we went to the aquarium. Then we went swimming. We came home about seven. At eight they came after me and we went after Helen and went out to the Polo Club for dinner. After dinner to T.O.G. and then to the hotel. We had a wonderful time. This afternoon Jack asked me to go to Stotsenburg with Steve and himself tomorrow. Wonderful.
Jane’s Notes: Fort Stotsenburg was named after Col. John Stotsenburg, who was the head of the Nebraska Volunteers and was killed in action in 1899, April 23, in Quinga, Bulacan. Following his death, the base was established in Angeles City, specifically at Barrio Sapang Bato. From the early 1900s onwards the fort became the headquarters of American forces stationed in the Philippines. During the second World War, the base functioned as the main HQ of several Philippine Army regiments and units. It later became CLark Air Force Base and was closed in 1991.
