28 August 1961

Dear Josh,

If all goes well and the Berlin situation doesn't erupt into a major
conflagration, | will be quietly changing from active to retired service on
31 August 1961. On 1 September 1961 | will start working as a free-lance
consultant in the field of space biomedicine with emphasis on the applied
research and systems applications areas.

Fortunately, and somewhat surprising to me at least, | have been
retained by a sufficient number of benevolent clients (in government or
scientific agencies) as will keep me going for the next 12-18 months. |
will be working out of Washington, sharing an office in town and having
an office at home also.

| have most assuredly enjoyed our past friendship and trust that our
paths will cross in the future, both socially and professionally. Meanwhile,
my warm regards, and best wishes to you.

Sincerely,
DON FLICKINGER
