19 JAN. 1989

 THURSDAY A BUSY DAY WITH CARGO OFFLOAD FROM DUKE. BEAUTIFUL CLEAR SKYS AND T SHIRT WARMTH. HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING THROUGH THE DETAILS WITH KAREN. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND THIS TIME TONY TALKED TO HIM AND HE DECIDED BASED ON THIS "WELCOME" HE WOULDN'T STOP HERE. ATTITUDE ON NSF PART SEEMS ODD. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT OURSELVES WELL TO TOURISTS BUT WE THRASH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SIMPLY BECAUSE OF SOME INTER-DEPARTMENTAL IN-FIGHTING. I STAYED OUT OF IT NOT WILLING TO JEOPARDIZE ANY TIME WITH KAREN.
