May 17, 1965
Monday, cooler, 60's thunder showers about 8 am. Sue home tired out. Madelyn here in am brought news for paper. Mother called in am.
Comment: Mom wrote column of news for the Middleburgh News, a weekly paper back then and included tidbits about the happenings around Hubbard Hill. Visits, illnesses, accidents. She wrote something about Ote and Myrtie that was extracted and made fun of by the New Yorker Magazine and I somehow read it and brought it to the families attention and I remember it made Dad furious that the item was ridiculed. When I was bitten by a cat when I tried to feed it stones, it made the paper......another way we got the news was through the telephone party line: take a listen.....
