January 5, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries: 53 Years Ago Today

January 5, 1963
Sat.  Cloudy very light snow 20’s no wind.  I baked in the a.m. Mrs. Mayo (?) came to see boys in am about coming to S.S. (Sunday School). I ironed in PM.  Girls and I went to annual business meeting at church at night.  Boys all went out.
Comment:"Boys all went out."  You damn betcha...where did they go?  Prowling the bars probably:  The Waterfall House in Gilboa, The Prattsville Tavern And Prattsville Hotel, The Rendezvous in Gilboa above the dam, or a fast run to Grand Gorge, Stamford or Roxbury.  We would sometimes cover hundreds of miles bar hopping through the mountains getting home after the bars closed at three, sometimes five or six in the morning.

No comments:

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?"
