And I caught the elevator and come on down and in a few minutes Mr. Edmondson caught up with us and we went on home. Nobody said anything to us outside of the office except Mr. Boorstein and that lady in the office but there were half a dozen or more men out there, but I didn't know them; and there were two men in Mr. Boorstein's outer office who were newspaper men.
