She had 2 children but someone else was going to take the other child.\u00a0 However, she had to get the child from their father and we waited several hours for her to return.<\/p>\n In the meantime, those going on the trip loaded the buses but they too were kept a long time.\u00a0 Three cars, including a van, were coming down from the Publications Office in San Francisco and were hours late in arriving.\u00a0 Some members, such as Carol Stahl, had to get back and intended to go back in these vehicles.\u00a0 It developed that Dave would have to take them if the Publications Office cars did not come and I might have lost my seat, since I\u2019m on vacation next week.<\/p>\n I stood up or sat in Dave\u2019s car most of the afternoon.\u00a0 Read Friday\u2019s newspaper and conversed with different people.\u00a0 Watched Jim and his staff who were conducting business in the yard.<\/p>\n I talked at some length with Vern Gosney, CJ and David Smith.<\/p>\n I told Vern about the incident involving [Name withheld] this morning.\u00a0 He said [Name withheld] was not living in their commune (Shaw-Houston).\u00a0 He gave so much trouble and was such a bad influence on the younger children, that he was transferred to the Temple commune last week.\u00a0 He had been guilty of serious offenses, including threatening an adult and damaging property and lastly had had a bad fight with Mark Cordell.\u00a0 ([Name withheld] had scratches on his face but had lied about their cause).\u00a0 I told Vern about the speeding incident involving Garrison and he advised me to write it up.\u00a0 He said the Garrisons made up deficits in food over the weekend from their personal funds, were touchy and \u201cdiplomacy\u201d was needed to handle them.<\/p>\n David Smith told me he was working on the apartments belonging to the Temple.\u00a0 They are being renovated with the plan to sell them, as members are being moved up to San Francisco.\u00a0 Gladys is living in a commune in San Francisco.\u00a0 Their younger children are with Pat Grunnett in the Valley.\u00a0 Kirtas is in the Shaw commune.\u00a0 Vance (Kelly) had been with Mary Wotherspoon in the Valley, but this arrangement did not succeed and he is now in the Temple as is [Name withheld].<\/p>\n CJ asked me about my plans to go communal and I told him my intentions in this respect.\u00a0 He left his job with the arbitration service and is working with Dave Garrison on constructions jobs.\u00a0 He makes almost as much money and likes the atmosphere better.\u00a0 Beside his skills, he is learning will be more useful in the p.l.<\/p>\n Finally 2 cars arrived from San Francisco with the Publications staff.\u00a0 Patti Chastain, was in one, told me the van had made a wrong turning.<\/p>\n About the time the van arrived so did the young woman, Melissa Jackson, with the 2 children.\u00a0 The final arrangement was for Don Jackson to help drive someone else\u2019s car and Dave took Melissa and the children besides me and his brother-in-law.\u00a0 Whom he went after.\u00a0 Anita went on the trip.<\/p>\n The buses which had been waiting for the Publications staff prepared to leave.\u00a0 We left before then, at about 7.30.<\/p>\n Don and I had eaten our lunches before starting.\u00a0 Dave forgot to meditate and when he could get off the road I insisted on his doing so.\u00a0 He did not keep his speed down to 50. And Melissa even spoke to him once.<\/p>\n I did not sleep well because I was nervous about Dave\u2019s speed.\u00a0 We stopped twice, went to the bathroom and got gas.<\/p>\n Once when I was dozing, I woke when Melissa spoke of Marilyn Watson and Debbie Heneke. \u00a0They had lived in the same commune but she said they were gone now.\u00a0 She did not know where they had gone nor if Ora Pierce had left the church too.\u00a0 She said Marilyn\u2019s companion had not been able to hold jobs.<\/p>\n The Highway Patrol pulled him over, said he was going between 65 and 70, but Dave was conciliator and the officer did not ticket him.<\/p>\n About a hundred miles from San Francisco, Dave let the brother-in-law drive.<\/p>\n We got $3 more worth of gas, for which I paid on Divisadero.<\/p>\n I was dropped of at 2.30.<\/p>\n I unpacked.\u00a0\u00a0 Then went to bed at 3.00.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14 June – 1976 \u2013 Monday<\/strong> Prepared and ate a meal and washed dishes.<\/p>\n Walked up to Haight Asbury where I had a registered letter at the post office.\u00a0 It was from an official of the Government of Sharjah on behalf of Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi. A letter was enclosed to Eugene Chaikin whose address they did not have. He wanted to thank him for the numerous letters received from the Temple congregation.<\/p>\n I bought 3 pounds of cherries fro $1.00 at the produce store.\u00a0 At the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Shop.\u00a0 I bought a pair of white walking shoes for 75\u00a2, 3 handkerchiefs for 10\u00a2 each and a pin to keep my coat fastened for 50\u00a2.<\/p>\n I stopped by the neighborhood coop on Hayes

\u201cI always Return to the Himalaya,\u201d\u00a0 which was mostly about Sir Edmund Hilary\u2019s work among the people in the Himalayan area.\u00a0 The shots of both the people and the terrain were fascinating.\u00a0 It also showed some beautiful scenery in Alaska where he was camping and climbing with his family.<\/p>\n Took the California St. cable car and transferred to the Powell St. Cable car to go to the Northpoint Coop.\u00a0 It stopped at Hyde and Beach Street and I walked to the Coop.<\/p>\n The day was very hot.\u00a0 The temperature reached\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [appears

from 7.00 to past 12.00, taking a break to wash dishes and bathed.\u00a0 I finished 9 pages.<\/p>\n Ate some toast and jam and nuts and read the newspaper.<\/p>\n Went to bed about 2.00.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16 June – 1976 \u2013 Wednesday<\/strong> Ate breakfast.<\/p>\n Took the Haight bus to the Embarcadero and from there I took BART to Berkeley, using the rest of the ticket I had received at the opening of the Embarcadero station.<\/p>\n In Berkeley I took the bus down University to the Coop food store.\u00a0 Bought a few items which I could not get at the Northpoint store.<\/p>\n I had a hamburger and root beer at a shop across the street from the Coop.<\/p>\n Than at the National Foods store, I bought some more items, particularly several kinds of nuts which I can\u2019t get at Northpoint.<\/p>\n Took the bus again up to BART and the BART home.\u00a0 Reached the Embarcadero about 3.00 and got home on the bus about 3.30.<\/p>\n The day was lovely, cooler than

Lor didn\u2019t call until about 9.00.\u00a0 She said she and her guests planned to visit Chinatown and to go to Sausalito on the ferry.\u00a0 We arranged to meet about 11.00 at old\u00a0 St. Mary\u2019s Church.<\/p>\n I listed expenditures for the past week.<\/p>\n Dressed.<\/p>\n I left the apartment about 11.00, went to Petrini\u2019s and bought a bottle of good California wine to take to Lor.<\/p>\n I took the Divisadero bus, then took the Sacramento bus to Chinatown.\u00a0 I thought that St. Mary\u2019s Church was on the Chinese park and playground and walked around it first looking for her.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t see her and looking at my map, discovered that St. Mary\u2019s was about two blocks away.\u00a0 I walked to it but Lor was not there either.\u00a0 I was afraid that there was some misunderstanding.\u00a0 I went back to the park, didn\u2019t see Lor, and returned to the church.\u00a0 I read the paper and drank Sanka which I had brought in my thermos. Lor found me a little after 12.00.<\/p>\n Lor\u2019s visitors were Mary, her sister, Russell, Mary\u2019s husband, their son Michael and Michael\u2019s girlfriend Joyce, from Reno.\u00a0 They had all spent several days at Moss Landing with Dorothy Carnie and had gone to the Monterey Peninsula.<\/p>\n They were late because Lor had not been able to convince them, particularly the young ones, how long everything takes in the city.<\/p>\n We waited for some time for Michael and Joyce who were riding the outside elevator at the Fairmont.\u00a0 Mary and Russell waited on the corner for them and Lor and I ate cheese and salami sandwiches, grapes and bananas which she had brought and drank some wine.\u00a0 The others joined us and had some lunch.\u00a0 Then they walked around Chinatown while Lor and I talked and went over to Portsmouth Square.<\/p>\n Lor told me Michael and Joyce were very square in their attitudes and racially prejudiced.\u00a0 Michael is 22 and has been studying law.<\/p>\n When we got together again, we took the cable car to the Embarcadero and then took the ferry to Sausalito.\u00a0 The weather was lovely but the fog began to come in.\u00a0 I was going to return as I had to go to the Temple service tonight.\u00a0 Lor and party were planning to sightsee in Sausalito and return on the next ferry, Lor persuaded them to go back on the same ferry and visit the Cannery and Fisherman\u2019s Wharf instead.<\/p>\n We went in the Hyatt Regency and looked around.\u00a0 Michael and Joyce rode the elevator there.<\/p>\n I left the others who were taking cable car to the Cannery and went home on the Hayes St bus.<\/p>\n Prepared and ate a meal.\u00a0 Had hoped to get a nap, as I was very tired, but didn\u2019t have time.<\/p>\n Went with Christians to the Temple service at 7.30.<\/p>\n Crowd more sparse than last night.<\/p>\n Dale Parks presided.<\/p>\n Offering.<\/p>\n During testimonials, Hazel Dashiell told of her gratitude to Jim.\u00a0 Dale explained the miracle by which she had gone earlier than the appointed hour for surgery to remove a growth from her abdomen.\u00a0 Had she waited poison would have spread through her body.\u00a0 Neither she nor the surgeon understood why the operation took place when it did.<\/p>\n A young woman performed a dance pantomime.<\/p>\n Reverend James Edwards spoke, took another offering.<\/p>\n Showing of p.l. films again.<\/p>\n Wesley Johnson took a last offering.<\/p>\n Homes had to be found for five puppies whom someone had left at the Temple.\u00a0 Homes found for all but one.<\/p>\n Tape of one of Jim\u2019s sermons.<\/p>\n The congregation came up to the altar to touch Jim\u2019s rob and make contributions.\u00a0 It was surprising how many people found $3.00 to put in, though at the last offering it seemed that no one had any money left.<\/p>\n The service was out about 11.00 but I had a long wait for Christians.\u00a0 Bob is handling the newspaper distribution at the Temple during this period.<\/p>\n I got home about 12.30.<\/p>\n Read Roszko.<\/p>\n Went to bed about 1.30.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18 June – 1976 \u2013 Friday<\/strong> Ate some strawberries.<\/p>\n Took Muni to the Junior league second-hand shop in Filmore, \u201cNext-To-New\u201d looking for a light spring coat, as the linings are in bad condition in the ones I have.\u00a0 Although they were having a half price sale the price was still too high and I didn\u2019t see any I liked.\u00a0 I went to Polk Street and went to the Blind Babies Bazaar and found one I liked for $5.\u00a0 Also bought 3 pair of panties and 3 table glasses.<\/p>\n The weather was overcast and considered cooler than it has been but the sun came out before I got home.<\/p>\n I prepared a meal, ate and washed dishes.<\/p>\n Typed in my journal for 3 hours, finished typing the 16 to 31 August section and made corrections.\u00a0 At 5.00 I took 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Vernetta phoned that she and Bob had to be at the service early.<\/p>\n I dressed for the service.<\/p>\n Had to hunt for my Muni Pass.\u00a0 Forgot what coat I was wearing,\u00a0 when I finally remembered, I found the pass in the pocket.<\/p>\n To Temple on the Muni. Arrived about 8.30.\u00a0 Again the number of people present was small at first but increased as the evening went on.<\/p>\n Bob Christian had opened the service.<\/p>\n Ava Brown took the offering.<\/p>\n During the testimonial period, the children san as they have been doing each night this week.<\/p>\n Mom Taylor spoke on the senior citizens and urged those who hadn\u2019t been coming to their meetings on Temple to come.<\/p>\n Christine Cobb and Guy Young spoke briefly.<\/p>\n Wesley Johnson took offering by count down.<\/p>\n Terri Buford came out to tell of call from Jim in Philadelphia.\u00a0 2.00 there.\u00a0 Had finished service.\u00a0 People with tears in eyes to see him again.\u00a0 Terri said she leaving in minutes with shipment for Guyana, asked for special contributions to send the supplies.\u00a0 Some $200 was raised.\u00a0 I was not sure whether the money was for shipping costs, the supplies themselves, Terri\u2019s expenses or something else.<\/p>\n Tape of Jim\u2019s sermon. Addressed to those who don\u2019t\u2019 know who he is.\u00a0 Given in Bakersfield.<\/p>\n Leona Collier gave a message from Jim.\u00a0 A candle and picture of Jim were put on a chair at the altar.

on the building of a ship, replica of\u00a0 the original Mayflower and called Mayflower II, and its journey from Plymouth, England, to Plymouth, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n Galbreath brought in a contract for the Caracas, Venezuela, subway system.\u00a0 It was a translation from Spanish.\u00a0 It was double spaced and had an unusual format which Galb wanted left as it was.\u00a0 Marie helped me set it up.\u00a0 It presented all kinds of technical problems, which slowed me down considerably.<\/p>\n The weather was cooler today.<\/p>\n After work I slept for an hour.<\/p>\n Ate dinner.<\/p>\n

\nThe weather was cold today.<\/p>\n
\nWorked all morning putting the security agreement from the MagCard into the ATS computer and Dor had received a print-out of what we had done yesterday and found that putting the formatting signals in was too much work so she decided we should put them in unformatted mode.\u00a0 This meant watching every line to see what was entered correctly and I found it even more nerve-wracking then what I had done yesterday.<\/p>\n
\nDor, although not leaving for Salt Lake until evening, was not going to be in.\u00a0 I planned to phone her for any instructions she had.\u00a0 However I was late for work and she was talking to Marie while I came in.\u00a0 She told me where various supplies were and me other necessary information.<\/p>\n
\nI had some computer work to do for both Maggie and Rita, but John Braman wanted to dictate a memo as Betty Barclay was in court with reference to her financial settlement.\u00a0 Betty Vasil told me to do Braman\u2019s work first.<\/p>\n
