I returned to the home grounds on Aug. 20th. Several people asked me whether I was caught in the Fairbanks flood. My port of stay was at Anchorage, w hich is located several hundred miles from Fairbanks, but did have occasion to witness several refugees arriving at the International Airport as our flight to Seattle was delayed on orders of Gov. Hickel to dispatch medical supplies to Fairbanks, the same flight held the people from the disaster area. The airport bustled with activity as several priests and ministers from the various churches had tables set up for the refugees to sign in for assistance. Our flight took off 2 1/2 hours late. I spent four days in Seattle visiting with relatives I had never met. We visited the Space Needle via the monorail, having dined in the cafeteria which is located approximately 600 feet high. The café makes a complete rotation within one hour and permits one to get an enormous view of the city of Seattle. Most of the buildings are active since the world's fair, and several have been renovated for ones' comfort. It's a must for all tourists. Seattle had gone without any rain for 58 days at the time of my departure.
