Los Angeles, California Room 13, Hotel Ritzy January 20, 1958 Dear Diary, While resting from a strenuous day sight-seeing in this beautiful city and making plans for my jpumey to Hawaii, I will write of ray trip thus far. I went down to the Beemer Depot and purchased my ticket to Los Angeles. 'When the train puffed into Beemer, to my surprise, just who 3.V' i .d be the engineer? It was nobody but my former classmate, Donald E- r .sirin. I knew for certain that I would reach my destination safe u c. r aurd. I thought it would be best to spend the weekend at the ?. t-jy Hotel in Los Angeles after I arrived here so, being not very jure cf getting a room, I went up to the desk clerk rather shyly. You could h ve knocked me over with a feather when I saw who was sitting hohinc the desk. It was no one but Phyllis Albus who always said she •r.elu -ritum to California. I told her about my good fortune in re- 'eir.rg a free ticket to Honolulu from the Truth or Conseauences Troj'cn which was in Beemer. She was surprised to hear that Janice d i was on the radio staff. She is the private secretary of Ralph rl'wards (the aren't we devils man.) January 2k, 1958 Dear Diary, After my pleasant weekend at the Ritzy, I continued on my journey. I boarded a ship, the M. M. Spenner , named this, because Martha Sperne- was the captain's fiancee. The ship was very crowded so I had 10 r.he e my cabin with Ver Nell Raasch who is a traveling saleswoman for the Moonkist Apple Company owned by Edward King. January 25, 1958 Dear Diary, After arriving at port, the first attraction was the Hawaiian dancers who are always there to welcome visitors. One dancer who especially aroused my interest was Arlene Horst. I did not recognize her at first because of her hair which was dyed black. I wonder how she ever got up the nerve to dye that beautiful blonde hair. That evening I dined at the Garden of Palms. I wore an evening gown that I had purchased in Hollywood. It was a beautiful creation designed by no one else thanDel esOswald
