Tuesday, 12 December, 1966, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Tuesday, 12 December, 1966, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Cloudy, cold, I washed in am, hemmed Linda K's dress and cut out and started Sue's aqua dress.  Wrote to Marily and sent some Christmas cards.  Started to snow about 8 pm.
Comment:  Talked to Marilyn about Kern flood in the 11 December post.  They lived in the Lake Isabella area at that time.  The Kern River drains into that lake.  They were stranded about 4 days during that time with three kids, Marna, Patty and Dean.  Jim and a co-worker became local heroes when they rescued a family from the flood, wading through waist deep water to get to them and get them out.  Jim received some kind of award for heroism....Marilyn said was a rather close call.....Knowing Jim, you would not be surprised if he did something like that...Jim Harris as a Marine.....

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?"
