their work with handicapped Cubs. LaVern (Parmley) and I spoke and seemed to be well received.

I was impressed with the leaders of the Scout movement - men of means and prominence." Thursday, July 11th: "We were up early but not early enough to be on time for the Mormon breakfast at 7:30. Everyone was there: Brothers Harold B. Lee and Delbert L. Stapley, the MIA people, Florence Jacobsen, Mary Dewey Waldron, Pres. Bechtel and wife, etc. Loo Roberts did a good job in setting it up. Instead of going to opening meeting, I went on tour to Independence Hall, Christ Church, etc., John Jr. and Paul went to the Navy Yard, then we all came back together for lunch.

The National Court of Honor was interesting, then we were off to Valley Forge. "The campground was a thrilling sight. We visited with the Utah contingent - saw Jimmy Backman (a member of Yale I1 Ward). Region XI1 served us box lunches, then we were off to the arena, after stopping at headquarters to see Bud Bennett, National Director of Cub Scouting. He and his wife Hope walked to the arena with us. It was perfectly beautiful to see the Scouts come over the hill and fill the arena. The Valley Forge story was enacted, Vice President Nixon
