Woke up at 9 am after a very restless night. Michael was still sleeping after I'd showered, so I went up to La Veranda buffet for breakfast and ran into Phil/Carol in the elevator so we ate together. I ate lightly and then returned to the cabin. Nothing much on the schedule this morning, so I took another rest and skipped lunch.
After getting just a quick bite at the Coffee Connection I went to the presentation of the DoD movie about our military operations in the Aleutians. Jan had told the speaker, Terry Breen, that we believe our father had been stationed in the hospital at Dutch Harbor so she reported on what she had found in her research. The former hospital was just left behind and she had a photo of it in its crumbled state, but she also found some info about an "underground" hospital that was also used. We have a photo of Dad in front of what looks like a Quonset hut, so that might be the other underground hospital. That was nice of her to do.
Next up was a lecture by Diana Preston on the Quest for the Northwest Passage. I'd heard most of it before, but that is the sort of thing that you need reminders on.
Finally, we bombed at Trivia again with only 7/15. I'm going to give Tom the recording duty because it seems whenever we get it wrong (eg. the year of Woodstock), he leans over and shows me that he had written down 1969 (correct) even though the group sort of thought it was 1968.
Tonight we had 8 for dinner at Compass Rose - Jan is still being cautious about being around people until she gets rid of her occasional cough, and we invited Joanna and Johann from The Netherlands to join us.
I actually made it to the show tonight since it was the magician who was pretty good last time and has a great sense of humor. No time change tonight! Yay!
