ALICE SHELDON—STILL MORE FOR THE HISTORICAL RECORD.

ALICE SHELDON—STILL MORE FOR THE HISTORICAL RECORD. Just before we arrived, Mrs. Bradley—who was 75—had stumbled upon a hornet nest. Alice had helped her to put some kind of lotion on the stings. They had counted over 70 stings. Mrs. Bradley was very cheerful and stoic about the stings. Ting Sheldon (Alice’s husband) and a friend from the CIA (certainly Bob Koke, based on the Phillips book) had arrived from Milwaukee by taxi so as not to miss any fishing time (everybody spoke openly of the fact that both men worked for the CIA). Everybody got together in the main cabin at the Lodge for dinner. The conversation was dominated by Mrs. Bradley telling wonderful stories about Africa. Ting got Alice talking about seeing before and after photos from World War II. In her war work she would identify bombing targets. The after pictures showed the destruction wrought by the bombings she had targeted. Ting speculated after one dinner that as an artist Alice would remember faces more accurately than others. A fragment of conversation: Mrs. Bradley: “Alice, did you give yourself that haircut with library shears?” Alice: “Yes.”
