Lovely sunny day, 50 but very windy. I cleaned, washed windows, cut and cleaned up iris's and lilies, etc in am. Went to Missionary Meeting with Madalyn to Phyllis's in pm. Wayne went to Albany for LaVerne. Carol and I went to church at nite. Called Mary Ann at nite, she was in hospital for tests.
Comment: Right out of school, Mary Ann got a a job as Assistant Professor at the Niagara County Community College and had to take a physical with the result that her red blood cell count was low and the doctor put her in the hospital for tests making us miss her parent's wedding anniversary party back in Gloversville...and she is still pissed off about it. Seems she has an inherited genetic trait that helped people in the Mediterranean, Greeks and Italians, better resist malaria. Mediterranean Anemia or thalassemia (which by the way, means "sea in the blood") is relatively common and both her mother and sister share the trait. She has minor thalassemia which doesn't have any health effect other than startling doctors who don't know about it......first snow of the winter on Hubbard Hill....from Michael Hubbard
