The second incident took place in the TWA terminal in west London while waiting for the bus to the airport. I asked the man who checked my ticket if they had some stationery and then for the phone book saying that I wanted to write a note to the Observer before leaving town. He looked at me kind of questioning and said, "Did you write a book or something?" I said I'd written two. He replied that he wondered if he hadn't seen me on television. I said he might have in '69 and mentioned the two shows. He broke into a smile and said yes, that was it and went on to add that he had found the show very enlightening, that he hadn't known before that there were people like I represented, that it had given him a new slant on people that he heard or read about, etc. We talked till it was time for the bus. Here again I had the demonstration after 2 years that the small ripples that I'm able to make with radio and TV appearances do reach people here and there and make some slight dent in public attitudes.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 29: Well, all good things come to an end so my 1971 European tour finished today too. Caught a TWA 747 to New York and had an uneventful flight. A 4-hour layover in NY and then East- ern to Miami where I was met by Stephanie 9-L-4 FPE and taken to her home. She, her nice and understanding wife and daughter provided me with a much needed 2 days of do-nothing rest to catch up from the trip, the time change and my continuing laryngitis for which I truly thank them.

SATURDAY: Drove up to Orlando and on Sunday had a meeting with the newly formed chapter of FPE. Everybody couldn't make it but we were 5 FPs and 3 wives and we had a good time between us. This group will grow rapidly, I'm sure.

MONDAY OCT 3: Plane to Wash. D.C. Met by two of the Wash. group

more couldn't make it on a week day and on the short notice I had to give. I couldn't plan the return trip to L.A. till I got to Florida and could call and verify some of the proposed TV shows that couldn't be sewed up tight before I left for Europe. We toured a few bookstores, had dinner and a visit anyway.

TUESDAY: Off to Philadelphia. Had a hairdo in preparation for a show on KYW the next morning and opened several new bookstores which ought to find more girls in the Philly area.
