Routine flight. Got
Larry Muhoy to hop in my plane. S.B.D.
cracked, no one hurt, but the pilot sure didn’t give a damn. I was first there and that got me sore. Some of these Officers are really rotten, oh
well. T-4 cracked on me while night
flying, and Art is in the Navy in Holland now.

Torpedo hops worked well, and mother sent me $5.00. Went night flying. Met a Hawaiian fellow who’s a life guard,
that attended Cal Aggies in Davis.
November 26th, 1942
Went up on a hop. Had
a perfect turkey dinner. Afterwards, had
I.W. Harper whiskey with O’Malley, Ramson, Reams, Maloy, and five others. The class from Alameda gave a toast to the
ending of the War, and for all to return home for a happy life. Note – The whiskey was borrowed from
Officer Flyers.

Got liberty back.
Ramson and I hitch-hiked to Honolulu, and went to Mr. and Mrs. Abrou’s
house. They took us to the South Seas
for dinner. We later visited an ex-Navy
friend of theirs, and drank some home brewed beer. Seen Phil Rice’s wife (a pal from Oakland),
and found out a couple of fellows from home (Everet Hill and Bill Adess) were
killed in action. Took the train at 0430
and made perfect time. Terrific storm
late tonight.
