Wednesday, 31 October, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Wednesday, 31 October 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Rainy and cloudy, Clifton home early.  I had a sick headache all day.  Carol and Sue went home with Linda and went trick or treating.  Clifford and Glenn were here after hay, said Lorraine was in the hospital.
Comment: Clifford was my uncle married to Dad's sister Evelyn.  They had three children, James Barry, Glenn Clifford, and Yvonne.  At this point Glenn had about two and a half years to live, dying in April 1964 of kidney disease at the age of 21. Yvonne (Bonnie) died in 1998 of breast cancer.  Barry passed away in 2019 while living in Louisiana.  Another "blue baby" named David died shortly after birth sometime in the early fifties.  Aunt Evelyn suffered through the deaths of three of her children....here is a picture of Glenn as a toddler with my brother Douglas Maynard, now deceased, probably about 1945 or so.

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?"
