Discussed the problem of corrective surgery on my jaw with Dr. Thoma. He said that Dr. Romanow was not able to see much opportunity of correcting the occlusion, so I either put up with it as is, or undergo corrective surgery. I’m to go in for an appointment on Monday at 1130 AM.

Sat in a meeting from 10 to 12 noon to talk about what to do next. Bob Davis put a diagram on the board to show what they had done on Project Mercury, and then another diagram to show the injection of signals into the -16 sub-system and the TTR. His presentation was devoted to hardware discussion with little attention to the broader aspects of systems analysis & check-out procedure design.

Tried to correlate -16 & TTR data on 3211, but it wasn’t possible as there was no -16 data.

Clear, cold

Rode with HS.

Took LCH & JAH to the annual Yuletide Banquet at the church. It was fine.

DCH’s temperature normal in morning.

The Baldwin Insurance Co. in Wayland has lost a check of ours for $83 that was for auto and house insurance. LCH stopped payment on it at the bank.

Rec’d letter from Howard Schuck. He turned down DR’s offer of a job in the Pentagon; asked if I would be interested in trying to return when he leaves.
