Checked in at Aerospace about 0815 to find our clearances were not at hand so we waited about an hour until they were activated. After this, under Brownie Eaton’s skilled guidance, we (Lou Kraft & I) met and EAE talked shop with a number of people.
The high point of the day came about 4:30 PM in Ashmore’s office when he was called by a military chap who told him that the STV booster was put into the contract negotiation phase. He then wanted to draw on L2 heavily, particularly in view of the mtg. next week at Hollman AFB (WSMR) to firm on operational plans. He also has two people writing test plan documentation; I should come back out & assist in this.
EAE & John Jelatis left on the 10:35 PM non-stop jet for Boston so EAE could try further to get VAN, DD, etc to back this effort; otherwise L2 will be a sideliner.
Checked out an Avis car.
Clear
Had a long phone call with Geo Stroebe; he said he was taking Teldrin for sinus drainage, so I spoke of the vinegar & honey. I’ll get together with him when I come out next time.
