Saturday, May 23, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 23, 1964 Saturday, hot day, 82, fair and windy.  Grant Schemerhorn here in the morning.  David worked for Earl.  Wayne, Clifton, girls and I went to Stamford after part for pump.  Wayne, Sue stayed at LaVerne's.  Clifton, Carol and I went to Stamford after another pump part.  Clifton worked on it nearly all day and it still didn't work.  David went to prom at Roxbury at night.
Comment:  Grant  "Wild Bill" Schemerhorn was a construction superintendent and probably wanted to talk to Dad about some work. His two younger boys were friends of Doug and David and his older boy was a friend of LaVerne's.  Wild Bill was the first in the area to have a tv and Dad and us kids used to drop in and watch "rassling" on his black and white tv.
 Two trips for water pump parts as they tried to get water from the well into the house.  Here is a picture of how David might have looked going to the prom:

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?"
