Family Man
-hated to interrupt Carmen's 100 percent - but we had such heavy traffic that it turned out best we didn't. John Jr. drove all the way he was anxious to get to Chicago. When we came to Evanston and Northwestern University, he was anxious for us to see where he and Woody Moyle had spent the summer after their high school junior year at a Debate Clinic. He found Mr. Miller, his counselor, and arranged for the men in the party to stay at the fraternity house. Carmen and I spent $10 at a hotel (remember$10 went a lot further in 1957 than it does now).

(This was the site of the National Cub Scout Committee meeting held in conjunction with the National Scout Jamboree at Valley Forge.) It was hot, so we looked forward to the arrival. We drove by Valley Forge and saw many Scout tents already set up. We found the center of town and the Sheraton without too much trouble. It is new, very modem and plush looking. We cleaned up, ate, took a little walk and hit the sack. Wednesday morning I got a $7.50 hairdo. The kids wanted to go swimming, which was not included in our $42 per day budget. Our Cub Scout meeting was interesting and mutually helpful. A North Carolina woman reported
