Dear Yuichi:
Words cannot express how happy I was to be able to see you again. I enjoyed
our visit in London very much. Thank you for the fine lunch. I had to change
my plans while I was there. I had entended to leave on Sunday for either
Wales or Plymouth to visit friends, but the weather on the west coast of
the U.K. was not good so I cancelled those plans and stayed in London. Wade
came by the RAF Club on Monday and we had a good visit. I left on the 18th
for home. It was a long trip and I am now finally getting over the jet lag.
Today and tomorrow are very busy days as I have a lot to do before I leave
Thursday for Boston where I will be attending the Am.Defenders of Bataan
& Corregidor meeting. Dr. Goad said he would be there. I will return home
on the 30th. My plans for September are very uncertain at this time. Since
we have had our visit, I wanted to try to get to Italy and see Pompei. Now
there is some confusion about what I will be doing at that time. I spoke
to Helen McDonald briefly this morning and as usual she was busy with a
meetin. She had only a minute to tell me the Museum was having a big celrebration
and a parade on September2-3 to mark the end of the war. Several U.S.Presidents
may be attendance ( Bush for sure ). She said CBS and ABC TVnetworks wanted
to interview me at that time. She would tell me more about it after I get
back from Boston. I will just have to wait and then let you know later what
may be scheduled. Must close for now in order to get this in the mail before
I leave. Thanks again. Sincerely, Rob
