back over to KGO-TV to do the "A.M." show. They had managed to get Dr. Karl Bowman to whom (together with Dr. Benjamin) I had dedicated the "TV and Wife" book to come down to the station and join in the interview.

That afternoon, I went over to Oakland to KTVU-TV where I did a TV show with the same Alan Spann from the day before. This show is released during prime evening time and goes through other stations in about 6 states so we got this part of the world covered too. Quite unrelated to this but mentioned here in connection with geographic areas - the Alan Burke show which I did way back in March has been released in as widely separated areas as Phoenix, Ariz., Corpus Christi, Texas; Grease Point, Mich.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and will be seen in Tacoma, Wash. on Oct. 20. Also I learned just before I left on this trip that it had been repeated again in August in New York. We really got some mileage (both literally and figureatively) out of that show.

On Friday, I decided that inasmuch as it would be impossible to have anything done to my hair during the Alaska trip, I would have to get it put in order in S.F. So big as life (though only half as natural) I called the City of Paris beauty shop (in one of the large dept. stores) and made an appointment. Like any other woman I had a shampoo and set and conversation with the operator. It is hard to get them to make a combable "do" these days without teasing the hair but I got her to do it. Her only comment was to ask why I had cut the little sideburn hairs in front of my ears so short. I told her that they were a little course and stubbly and that my electrologist had told me that if they were taken out by electrolysis that they would grow back in soft and fine. This satisfied her and we got along fine.

I had a meeting with 10 of the local girls (as their brothers that is) plus one lovely and understanding wife in my hotel room and we went on till wee hours. The conversation was the usual but it was interesting and livened up a bit by the presence of "Robert" who is our opposite number, namely a female TV living as a man. Very interesting person indeed.

Saturday noon I was driven to the airport by one of these friends and took off for Seattle. This is always an interesting trip as Mt. Lassen, Crater Lake, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Mt.
