Cloudy, cold, 42. Ina Belle left in am for Earl's. Girls and I went to camp at night.
Comment: Earl's was about three miles away...hmmm..."Winter is coming".....Comment From Susan: Mom had two foster girls at this time, for a short while: Maxine Maxwell and Marjorie Coop, or Croop… the girls were cousins. Sweet little things, around 7 and 8 years old. Marjorie had appendicitis while with us. She complained of a pain in her side for a few days – but nothing severe – come to find out it was appendicitis. She was a tough little girl. They both were from around Middleburgh way (SchoharieCounty). The girls were there only a few months through the summer as I recall. Dad got to drinking, and Mom, reluctantly, thought it was better no to keep the girls. I have often thought of those little girls – how they ended up. Mom saw Marjorie several years later around Middleburgh, and spoke to her then.
