August 30, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

August 30, 1964
Sunday, hot and humid, 82.  Went to church and Sunday school.  LaVerne and Roberta here for dinner.  Clifton and I went to Louise's and I went to Middleburgh with her to see a woman about helping but couldn't find her.
Comment: Grandpa Elmer apparently needs a lot of care. This was before Medicare and Medicaid so there was no insurance for this kind of thing. These programs did not go into effect until 1966 so they were on their own and struggling.....wonder if he would have lived longer under hospital care.....he will die in exactly 22 days...

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?"
