A couple of telephone calls and two hours of waiting brought a station wagon which hauled us in to the administration building, As per usual the officer of the day didn't know what was going on and maintained that they weren't yet ready for us at Cecil Field.

Saturday night Bob & I went to see Bette Davis in "The Little Foxes" showing at the station theatre. It was just about as an unlovely little story as I have witnessed. Had forgotten you had seen it on the stage in Omaha and warned me.
