We had breakfast in the hotel with Barbara and Bruce. We enjoyed them. Bruce has the info table for the Kansas club. After breakfast we stayed in the room for a while doing computer work then I went over to the lecture which started at 10. Mary talked about Chimeras in a very good presentation. After that we drove to the Truman library. This was such a thrill for me since it had the maps for the planned invasion of Japan from the White House war room. Dad was stationed in Luzon which was listed as occupied territory. This was incredibly fascinating stuff. Instead of the invasion they decided to drop the atomic bomb. We left there just after 4 and met Anne and Richard who were rounding up a crowd to go out for dinner. We had dinner at an Italian place called Bravo which was excellent. I had shrimp Campanalle ala forno which was outstanding. I had it with a glass of chianti. We drove our car with Joe and Andrea. We visited the street fair going on afterward. Such fun.
