Visual Entertainment from Near and Far
November 1981
We were out to a dinner party last night until late so I am still in bed. An old friend said she would call me this morning so I must stay here – tho it is a beautiful day and I should be out sight-seeing – maybe this aft. Tonight we’re going out to dinner with old friends from Mexico and Bogota days. Washington is such a beautiful city – both by day and night. I hope to visit the National Cathedral, remember it?
My love to you, Dede

How’s everything going? Well, I hope. Lots of changes here. I got a new job. Mike left to go to Central Office, and Shirley’s division is bing completely changed.

Lincoln Memorial. Three of the most impressive sights that can be seen by visitors to the Nation’s Capital. The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Capital Building.
August 1981
I had a nice flight to Washington yesterday. It was smooth and fast. Today I visited some art museums and the capital. It’s very hot so I’ve been taking my time seeing things. Tonight we’re going out for Ethiopian food. It should be interesting.
