Friday date seems fixed by comment at end -"see you tomorrow at 10:05".

Source: Jim Clavin

Only 2 Fridays available in June 6/26 and 6/12 Since Gelbar dated it 6/25 (Thu) and Shep says it's Friday, the 26th seems logical

Comments: Dustbin of History Recording

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
