Bibi Gaston gives an account of her day aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt as part of the “Friends and Family Day Cruise” on the aircraft carrier. Gaston recounts the food, visiting various parts of the ship, including the kitchen, and taking a nap in the infirmary. Gaston interweaves her narrative with thoughts on the relationship between her great-great-uncle Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt.
Two photographs and three pages from the Friends and Family Day Cruise booklet supplement the text.
