September 22, 1963
Sunday, mostly cloudy and cool. We went to mother's for dinner after church. Wayne, Clifton and I went to church too. David was at Wrights for dinner. Girls went to church and Awana presentation of awards at night.
Comment: Dinner at Mother's meant driving to Richmondville and entering a large Victorian type house with very tall ceilings and a dark, cavernous entry hall and being met with the smells of gravy, meat and potatoes cooking, maybe turkey or pot roast. Norm would usually be sitting in his large chair, sometimes smoking a cigarette, raw-boned, affable and he just seemed "large" to me as a little boy. When I was attending Cobleskill Ag and Tech, (minutes from Richmondville) Bessie would often have me over for supper. Here is a picture of the Mom's family with us on the Hill probably around 1961 or so. Nancy Smith was my girlfriend at the time, before Mary Ann....
