Monday, September 28, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaires

September 28, 1964
Monday, cool,50's, cloudy in pm.  I made chili sauce, plum jelly and started relish.  Did some ironing and wrote to Marilyn.  Vern Russell broke into Russell VanAken's and took gun and shells.
Comment: Russelll VanAken lived about a 1.5 miles from us and made his living on junk auto and equipment parts and fire wood. He lived like a hermit in a one-room shack that he built himself and ate mostly Wheaties for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He very rarely wore a shirt even in the winter and we would often see him tan and lean working around his extensive junkyard or his home-made buzz saw powered by a pulley and belt off the rear, tireless rim of a jacked up derelict car.


From Susan About Grandpa's Death:  This is very much worth a response.  I loved Grandpa.  He would drop by the house often.  He always had a soft smile across his closed lips.  He was quiet, and gentle, and never in a hurry.  He was straight, and lean, and for the most part health.  I remember the wedding of Louise and Grandpa.  He was very happy with her.  He built the house that they lived in.  And, he loved his grandchildren!

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?"
