March 11, 1963
Mon. 0 to 35. Clear in the am becoming cloudy in pm rain and sleet at night. Carol was home yet with cold. I had a sore throat and cold. I washed in the am. Clifton cut wood. David drove our car to work, he had to be there at 6:30am to go to Albany. Had a long letter from Doug and picture cards of the base. David worked in Albany moving charcoal from rail car to warehouse.
Comment: Doug's writing a lot of letters from Navy boot camp, persistent sickness. If you ever want a sinking feeling in your stomach, open up the doors of a freight car packed with bags of charcoal and know that you have to move every damned one of them into a semi-trailer, drive to the warehouse and unload them all, then drive back to the freight car and do it again, maybe for the next 2 days. At days end, your clothes and skin are completely black with the dust.
It's Wayne's birthday, March 11, 1946 on this date in 1963 he is 17 years old with about 42 years left to live.....he was born 65 years ago today and I remember clearly when Mom brought him home from the hospital...
