Mother’s picture & article on 92nd birthday in Star.
To River Valley High School to register Dave. Had conference with Mr. Harvey before Dave came in & gave him some background. With a little urging from me Dave chose College Prep Eng & Algebra. Industrial Technology & Astronomy were his choices. Health & Phys. Ed. required. Made of couple of smart remarks: Harvey: “Who is your family doctor” – Trella: “Dr. Victor Lenzo” – Dave: “I want a more expensive doctor.” When I asked him about it later he said he was making a joke!
Terry & Jerry Zacharias here working on staining the deck when we got back. Had lunch with us and finished about 2:00. Pd $30. Had them move desk from living room to my bedroom – and the antique empire chest to the living room. Then sorted through drawers to get things relocated. Meanwhile Dave was tearing down the old shack. Got 2 walls & the windows out. He really worked. I repiled the debris sorting out good boards. It cost $100 for lumber when Daddy put on the board & batten about 1959.
At 6:00 Dave & I went to MCHS Center to meet John & Margaret Cottrell & the four of us worked until 8:00 cleaning up the mess made when the ceiling plaster fell. Got McDonald’s food & ate at Mary’s
