Later the princess and her new companion made a series of unchaperoned holiday visits, without her two children, to the languid Caribbean isle of Mustique.

Well, much has transpired since I last saw you in front of Sports International. My trip to California proved to be great fun with a lot of flying to be had. I logged almost 12 hours of air time in less than 2 1/2 weeks. My traveling companion Rich Graham and I spent the first two weeks in the San Diego area, flying mostly at Torrey Pines, but did some flying inland at Lake Elsinore and Big Black Mountain outside of Ramona, Calif.
