Transcript

The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

"knock it off. We each purchased one seat.- and that's all you bought." One of the others murmured a word which I thought might be "paratroopers" but probably was "smoke jumpers." The man apologized.

The voice was about two to three notes below normal. Even and pleasant. And even the words, "knock it off" had no rasp or harshness.

The costumes were totally black. Leather or shiny plastic. The coats hung from shoulders to knees, straight without any form fit. The caps were a half-kepi. Instead of a bill the right edge was twisted into an upright piece in the middle of the forehead.

All wore the type glasses in the sketch. At the hinge, the earpiece was wide, but of a lacy pattern. No part of the eye visible.

Two of them sat in the back seat left. The "pilot: said to the others to come up front, and he would "arrange" so they could sit together, and talk. So I got a height comparison. The pilot about 5' 10". The next one 6' 1" or 6' 2" and slim, slim. The third man 5' 11" or 6'7, and broader.

Questions---

1. Is there a military specialty center, or hospital at Sand Point - for either survival training, jumping or recuperation?
