How the Current Hubbard Males May
Have Come By Their (Almost )Insufferable Cockiness.
From Maude Haskin As Quoted In The Fall
2007 Issue Of The Gilboa Historical Society:
One time after a game, some of the boys had all the girls line up by the pavilion, and they chose three to go with them to Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady to see movie. The three, Earle Hubbard, Clifton Hubbard and Everett Wood. The lucky girls were Margie DeWitt, Lorraine Hubbard & Maude Haskin. The fellows told the other girls to go home. Everyone at the theatre looked at them like they were big-league ball players as they were wearing their uniforms and spikes.
For supper they pooled their money and bought Fig Newtons and bananas.
( Always the big spenders)
Everett Wood married Lorraine Hubbard, I think Clifton probably took Maude and Earle took Margie Dewitt.

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
