Monday, January 3, 1966 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Monday, January 3, 1966
Cloudy and warmer and rainy.  About 2 inches of snow but thawing.  The girls started back to school.  David worked.  I did a big wash.  Lyle's went with me to annual business meeting at church.
Comment:  Back to normal after the holidays...snowy day on the hill about 1966,  bush in front of the porch....

From Sister Sue About Gilbert Gale:  Yes, Gilbert Gail or (Gale), was the son of Hilda Gail, who dated Uncle Earl, and was in the automobile when Uncle Earl had his fatal heart attack.  That, of course was quite some time later.  Carol dated Gilbert a little.  He died in an automobile accident (I believe) when he was still in his late teams as I can remember.  He was a few years older than Carol, so he would have been around 17 at the time of the diary entry, probably to live only a few years more.  Carol wasn’t going with him when he died, but he was a very nice guy, and Carol was very sad at his passing – although I don’t believe a whole lot was said about it to her – as was the culture, custom and the family way of dealing with things.

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?"
