7/11-84
Got here safely. There's a Woolworth's nearby. Meeting many nice people with similar interests – actually two groups of about 30 each.
The 6¾ hrs on the plan went quickly, but not too much sleep. We liked our special order meals. Meals here are good – buffet bkfst & lunch & sit down supper. Hope to go to Church here on Sunday. –– Jean & Harold
