TUESDAY JUNE
13, 1961 – MONTREAL, CANADA
We left the hotel &
headed for the pier. Our new found friend
Charlie went along with us. We shared the cab fare, about 75 cents each. We soon discovered that the luggage we sent
ahead had not arrived so, off the boat we went to the Baggage Master (Mulwalsh)
who soon put a tracer on the job. The luggage got here less than 1/2 hour
before sailing. Close? Lunch was all
mixed up, due to the 12 noon sailing, guess we never got ours until 3 PM. Chas. is taking a nap, right now sounds great!
Might even join him. We were pleased to find a couple of telegrams
waiting for us. One from Jay & one from Dr. Bill. This was great, it sort of brings home
closer. Dinner at (8 PM) Later we spent
many hrs. in Tavern with a Prof. (McLaine) from Missouri & 2 girls from Montreal,
ea. going home for a visit, Angela to Venice & Erica to Switzerland.
