Scope and Contents

Mrs. Smith was a teacher at Eaglebrook. Phil's younger son recounts his experience, specifically his dislike of Eaglebrook and its practices. He said that he got through his first month at Eaglebrook by fantasizing about running away with a bag full of cookies.
World War 2 ended the summer before he went to Eaglebrook, he was ten years old at the time.
He tells a story of staying with his uncle and having someone from the FBI come to the door to ask about his uncle.
Phil's wife tells a story about living in Maine and the suspicions of the local people that they were Nazi spies, then another story about the police in Hollywood suspecting they were running a distillery.
She tells a story about when she was pregnant but didn't know it yet. She went to a doctor initially who misdiagnosed her as having a tumor, but a second doctor correctly found that she was actually just pregnant.
He talks about losing all of his instruments when he and his brother shipped everything they owned to New York and when he got there he didn't have enough money to collect them.
He says something that Phil said to him was to give yourself a chance to solve a difficult problem by going to a quiet place to work on it.
