Monday, January 17, 1966 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Monday, January 17, 1966
Cold, cloudy, teens.  I was sick in am.  Did some mending, called Mother.  Had letter from Doug.  Field representative of Chicago Tech College was here in evening to sign David up for home study course in drafting and design.  Moses Young was taken to Binghamton, nervous breakdown.
Comment:  Busy Monday..  The Young family lived about 4 miles from us on a hardscrabble farm on the Bull Hill Road to West Conesville.  It was on our school bus line and several of the Young kids were our friends.  In the 1940 census, it shows him as single and 28 with the following other people in the house:  Mary 23, Myrtle 4, Richard  2, William 25 and Sarah 68 who must have been his mother.  Richard was my age and a pretty good friend, and a very large powerful guy with a great disposition.  Here is a picture of him in his sophomore year at Gilboa Central....

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?"
