September 17, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


September 17, 1963
Tuesday, rainy day. Gerald went to school for good.  Louella and I went to the dentist in Schoharie in pm.

Comment:  Louella is ringing a bell but I can't come up with her name.  SUNY@Albany starts for me. 101 years ago from this date was the bloodiest battle in U.S military history as Union forces stopped the Confederate invasion of Maryland in the Civil War battle of Antietam with nearly 23,000 killed, wounded, missing, or captured.  Americans fighting Americans:  "We have met the enemy and he is us"  (Pogo, Walt Kelly), and he still is in 2021.

Hi Gerald The only Louella I ever knew was Louella Goodfellow, Etheridge's wife. (Maiden name was Fancher) Could that have been her?

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?"
