April 18, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

April 18, 1963
Thursday, cloudy in early am, clearing and windy, 60. We went shopping at Cobleskill in am.  Girls and I went to Missionary Meeting at church in afternoon.   LaVerne and Roberta were here at night 1/2 hr.
Comment:  Weather getting better....church and shopping..
 I guess I am still being corrected on the Duane Thorington accident.  Barry says "Duane was in boot camp at Great Lakes in the spring of 1958 with me.  He developed a reaction to some penicillin shots and was place in holding while he was being treated."  So Duane was a sailor and not a Marine. 
 He also says about the Eddie Diamond accident:  "Eddie and Roy Diamond were in the car as well as Shirley Clark, Kenny Clark's sister.  Eddie came up with a 54 Mercury from the settlement."....I thought Eddie was killed in the wreck...so I'm bowing out of commenting  about the accidents because I obviously have some faulty memories at work...


From Charlotte re the Thorington family:
Answering your question about Don Thorington,  he passed away from a malignant brain tumor maybe 10 years ago.   Time goes by so fast not sure how long ago.   His older brother Paul who was Marilyn and my age died maybe 3 years ago from a stroke but he was bedridden for some time.   The only one left from that family of children is the girl Lois.  cc


Here is Charlotte on her Senior trip to Washington DC with first cousin Reggie Haskin:

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?"
