April 2, 1965
Friday, very light snow in early am. I had dreadful sick headache. We left for Buffalo in am, picked up LaVerne and Roberta and took John to Celia's. Met Mary Ann 1 pm and reached Hamburg, NY at 5:45. Got rooms at Gerald's hotel "West End"; went and all had supper. Men went through Ford plant at night. Roberta, Mary Ann and I stayed at hotel. Roberta called home. Rudy Reidl killed in head on collision near Jefferson. Mrs. Reidl took to hospital in critical condition.
Comment: The family visits me in Buffalo..Mary Ann probably there for an interview with either a high school or the Niagara County Community College.......Rudy Reidl was the cattle artificial inseminator for the area and was constantly on the road. He was a very aggressive driver and we were not surprised that he was killed. I remember being almost run off the road by him on the Bull Hill Road where he lived...on the dusty, rough dirt roads you could hear and see him coming.....
