October 25, 1963
Friday, beautiful day, hot and dry, 76. I washed in am and cut out my dress and started it. Gerald came home at night. Becky came home with Sue.
Comment: I must be home for the weekend, probably driving for Joe Gallo, Prospect Dairies or Timberland Charcoal. Another gorgeous day on the hill.....and 109 years before on this date, about 600 English cavalrymen charged down a valley in the Ukraine covered by Russian artillery: "Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left, cannon behind then". About half died and this tragic military blunder still became immortalized and glamorized as the Charge Of The Light Brigade......http://www.nationalcenter.org/ChargeoftheLightBrigade.html
