March 14, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

March 14, 1963
Thurs. Cloudy in am clearing in pm 25. Sue and Wayne home with the flu. I had more cold, did very little,  wrote to Doug and Marilyn. Clifton cut wood. David received $215.00 compensation check in the mail.
Comment:  Adjusted for inflation, David got $1842 and I think it was an injury compensation check for when he got his fingers caught in a charcoal press at Timberland.  This is from a previous post..."Timberland was the charcoal plant in Stamford where LaVerne was the general manager.  David worked there for a while and got his hand caught in a briquet press and injured it pretty bad.  His hand was caught until LaVerne went into the control panel and re-wired it to reverse the press."
And.." the road goes on forever and the party never ends" when it comes to cutting wood...Dad's at it again....

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?"
