Tuesday, December 29, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

December 29, 1964
Tuesday, cloudy and some fog, overcast 20's.  Clifton, girls and I went to Mothers for dinner and shopping, got Carol a sweater.  Laura here at night.  David went to work at 6 pm.
Comment: Yesterday's cards from Anita and Veda were from friends my folks met in California visiting Marilyn. From Marilyn's oldest daughter Marna Ford: "Hi Uncle Gerry, Veda is Anita Berghouses' mother. In about 1963 or 1964, Veda and her husband purchased an expensive color TV. Our family went to their house and we watched "The Wizard or Oz" on their TV. It was soooo exciting when Dorothy got to Oz and everything turned into color. I was six or seven then. "The Wizard of Oz" has always been one of my favorite movies.
I always enjoy your work on this blog and appreciate your work documenting that time. Happy New Year!"
