Went into Hilo for a celebration party with Primary Teachers-To-Be at a Japanese park. Hoffsis, Tom and I played pinochle
until chow time. I remember waiting outside in a drizzle and getting nowhere fast and ending up with a very small meal.
About 11PM we filled in a form and then were officially sworn in. That was followed by the best Fijiian and Hindi plays
from blackout week. When it degenerated into singing Tom and I decided to hitch a ride back. Luckily, we ran into one of our trucks
sneaking out, so we jumped in the back. One of the coldest rides I ever experienced, but let's face it; how many rides do you think
one would get hitching after midnight? |
