that Bill might fall asleep.

stay awake so long, because he's
really a great sleeper.

ability to stay awake, but I know
that once he falls asleep it prac'

what woke him UP after he fell

when he tries to ignore the alarm
clock in the morning.
What really worried me was
that he might fall asleep when he
didn't have the automatic pilot on.
Editors note: At the time Mrs.
Odom told her story, she was not
aware that her worst fears had
been realized-Bill DID tall asleep
without an automatic pilot but the
flying qualities OF his ship kept
it aloft while he slept.)
