(Trella in HOSPITAL) = Dodge a wreck, but Trella doing well. I pray, with a badly lacerated hand (1 hr 10 minutes in surgery). Spent almost all day there. Home about 11. Paris wonderful- everyone else too. (Westwood selling? We signed contract at Hospital)
[Trella was in a car accident at the corner of Brocklesby Road and Williamsport Road. The corn had grown enough that the view was blocked, and there were no stops signs at that time. Her car was nicked on the rear end, sending her rolling over three times. The glass pop bottles in the rear seat broke, cutting her hand – she retained those scars the rest of her life, and could not close her fist. Otherwise, she was unhurt, but learned to stop at those intersections for a long time afterward]
