Dear Dick and Ellen and kate and Jenny:
My friend Charles Wilson from whom I bought my house in Los
Gatos,is bringing you the examining table. He will finally be moving
permanently to Whitethorn in about a week. I suggest you write to
him with instructions on how to get it to you, as I wasnt sure where
you are at this time, nor what your summer schedules are. Charlie is
a very nice fellow. His wife is too. He has been making regular
visits to the Stanford Hospital for occaisional tests for a mild
epilleptic tendency. He knows you are a doctor, and he told me that
he has told the hospital here that he intends to use you as his
doctor. I hope you are receptive. In any event, I told him to talk
to you. I get the impression that he is after a guy who can
communicate on his wavelength, and I think you are his type. Dont
forget to write to him, pronto concerning the examining table, as if
he keeps it too long, its top may split and crack, as he doesnt have
room in his house for it. The table has stirrips, which I removed
for shipping. Ask him for them, if they are not attached when you
get the table. His address is Charles Wilson; Star Route; Whale
Gulch; Whitethorn, Ca. Of course he has no phone or electricity.
Enclosed is a booklet on a neat wind- power system a fellow
in Mountain View sells. I went over to his place, and this seems
like a nice device. The only problem is the fact that you must place
it in an exposed location, which means that it will be rather
visible. Charlie is building his own wind generator from this same
fellow's plans.
Today Ron and I went to the Kinetic Sculpture Race of
Cupertino. All the Ferndale contraptions were there, plus a few more
from the bay area. Of course, not many of them worked, but it was a
good show. Have you been to the original annual race in Ferndale
yet? I've been thinking, and it seems that Petrolia ought to have an
entry. With some decent engineering a winning sculpture could easily
be created. I could help out with the design. Maybe you could get a
group together to execute it. Think about it.
I talked to Mom today, and she seems well. At long last I am
going to the East Coast. Next Monday is the day. I will be in
Washington for a couple of days and then will spend some time at home
straightening out things there before visiting a few prospective
customeres on the way back.
I have hired my first full time engineer. He is a fellow who
has just graduated from Stanford, and appears very competent. He
will start work around July 1. I hope that this will lighten my load
a bit.
Liz is in Europe now. Her arm was just about completely
healed by the time she left.
I hope all is well with you. Write occaisionally. And dont
forget to call Mom. By the way, where is that letter you forgot to
mail. The one about the movie films... look in your glovebox.
My car is just about on its last legs. Were you planning on
wanting Dad's VW, or will I be able to have it?
