I woke at 8.00.

I met Denise at the office. She had heard nothing from Marquita. I went to the office anyway to say goodbye and bring back my belongings.

Oreen was at the stairs. She talked steadily.  We had a conversation about going to the Temple.  She is non-communal. Her attitude is that her money is her own to do with whatever she pleases.

Went to the office at 11.00, there was still no word from Marquita. Betty Vasil was not in. One of the insurance men made a remark which made me think Dor Stookey had resigned. The other secretaries thought this had perhaps been announced in the other department meeting this morning.

Barbara Vasil took me to lunch.  We ate at a new facility which was next to the Zellerbach building.  We had the chicken and rice. I had buttermilk. Barbara, of Portuguese background, was born in Macao, but was educated in Heidelberg.

I looked for skirts at the Emporium near the office but had no luck.

I went to Kaplan’s on Market, an army surplus store, and got boots for about $20. I had a long walk to Van Ness.  There I took the bus home.

Dropped my packages off at home and went to the Temple to eat.

Oreen talked all the time this evening; she seems very unhappy. I told her I wanted to listen to the radio; then she went to talk to Virg in the kitchen.

I read the newspaper.

Went to bed at 12.00.
