May 1, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 1, 1963
Wednesday, rain turned to snow,  30 in am.  Cloudy and rainy 30’s cold.  I ironed. Doug called Albany about the trip to Virginia.  Ronnie was here to see Doug in am.   Jay Smith's
funeral. LaVerne and Roberta here at night a few minutes.  Clifton went to Grand Gorge and Ashokan.

Comment:  Ronnie is Ronnie Schermerhorn who lived at the top of Bull Hill in West Conesville and was a good friend of Doug's during his youth.  Doug getting ready to ship out I guess, on a ship out of Virginia.  Stıll cold and dreary.  We once had snow ın late mıd May that closed the schools for a couple of days......On this day in 1963 the first American, (James Wittaker) conquers Mount Everest.

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?"
