Monday April 9th 1979
Snow covering ground when I got up but melted during day. Temperature about 35 degrees. Judge Myers sent about eight sheets of Marion City history gleaned from City directories. Finished unpacking Caffco order and sent some up to mothers. Brad starting to pad his delivery time. I knew that long hair indicated poor character!
To mothers. Took pictures of her house to test flash in different modes.
Mary and Kenny picked me up at shop at 6 and we went to Isaly’s for dinner. They paid my check since I took them to see Thayer Soule in “Escape to the South Seas” after. Made me want to leave for the Fiji islands and homesick for the Philippines.
Talked to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Haley who sat next to me. He was in the car that witnessed my accident in July of 53. He wondered how my hand healed so I showed him that the stretch of my left thumb is 1 inch shorter than my right one.
Busy funeral day so didn’t get much done for Easter preparations.
