Dave and I to Indianapolis to attend Barb Parker Richardson’s wedding to John ____. Only the family in the Methodist Church parlor. Met Barb’s mother and stepfather who had disowned Barb after divorce from Joe and two sisters and brother and families. To friend’s house for luncheon and reception. Gave her two sets of towels. We were we were stand-ins for Kathi.
Stopped to visit Shorty* in Fountain City- she took us to dinner and then back to her mobile home- still crowded with magazines, papers, Etc. Shorty looks thinner and says Don has to retire this year but doesn’t want to.
[*Shorty Decker, Don Decker’s mother and Kathi’s first mother-in-law]
