May 25, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 25, 1963
Saturday, partly cloudy,  62 high.  Doug came home about 12:30.  Schermehornes saw him at Grand Gorge  and brought him home.  Gerald went to Cobleskill about noon.  I washed for Gerald.  The well was almost dry.  The three boys went to Grand Gorge in afternoon.  The girls went fishing with AWANA,  got nine fish.
Comment:  Doug must have rode bus up from Virginia for a weekend pass from the Navy.  Apparently Mom and Dad did not know about it.  The Schemerhornes are Wild Bill's boys who lived on top of Bull Hill just above Leonard Haskins.  Not sure why I went to Cobleskill but looks like my laundry got done....nine fish, probably bull heads from someone's pond....Earl stocked the ponds he made with trout.  I think the bull heads just came naturally...here is a picture of  LaVerne and Merel Jr with a 21 inch trout LaVerne caught in Earl's pond...do they look like farm boys or what.....

Great pic! Is that Grandma's shadow - the photographer?

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?"
