Saturday, October 30, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Saturday, October 30, 1965
Partly cloudy 50's.  David worked till noon.  Gerald, Mary Ann, Clifton and Wayne went to Central Bridge and brought Wayne's car to Cobleskill.  Clifton, the girls and I went to Mother's at night and came home by Stamford and Grand Gorge,  We stopped at LaVerne's for a moment.  Linda came after Doug and they went to Albany.
Comment:  Linda may be a new girl entering the picture...I don't remember her....so... Cobleskill was settled in 1752 and Portland, OR was incorporated in 1851 or about 100 years later...about the same amount of time that our mother would have lived if she had survived to 100...looking back at the last 100 years, it's absolutely amazing what has happened in that span of time..probably folks in 1851 looking back 100 years would also have been astounded....

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?"
