_December 27, 1959_
Sent the soup-and-fish out be cleaned and pressed. Looks like I'm going
to get some use out of it, after all. We're having a big formal New
Year's Eve party in the commons room and there's going to be square
dancing, swing-your-partner, and all of that. When I called Marilyn,
she sounded very friendly--she remembered to call me Oliver, and I was
flattered that she did--and said she'd be delighted to come. Seems
she's gotten very fond of folk dancing lately.
Gosh, it'll be good to get out of these dungarees for a while. I'm
happy to say I still look good in formals. Marilyn ought to be quite
impressed. Len always wore his like pajamas.
