August 10, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 10, 1963
Saturday, sunny clear day,  70’s.  I cleaned house Clifton and I picked up girls at Mid State camp at noon.  Imer Wyckoff was here and bought out hay. We went to LaVerene’s for supper.  Took Carol to Dr. Lyons for a bug in her ear at night. Talked to Billie at night.
Comment:  Imer Wyckoff and his brother Walt,  ran a very large dairy farm in Gilboa just above the Gilboa High School.  They had a picnic pavilion and had a refrigerator with keg of beer with a tap running through the refrigerator door.  They also always had the latest in farm equipment and tools for just about anything that might come up.  After I got out of the Army and was hitting the local bars, I would often see Imer at the Waterfall House and he would always buy me a couple of beers.  They also had a swimming hole under the bridge at Wyckoff and Flat Creek Road and our kids would often swim there.  Both brothers are gone now........Although I do not have a picture of their spread, it kinda looked like this.....

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?"
