Wednesday, 28 November, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Wednesday, 28 November, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Another beautiful day, 50's, no snow only in a few spots, no wind.  Clifton and I went to Albany to Montgomery Wards and Tops then to Schoharie to redeem stamps, got Marilyn Christmas presents and stopped at Bullard's and bought a bushel of apples.  Raymond Brown was here at night to look at cows.  Clifton bought two off him.  David came home at night and took Doug's car back.  Velma Jones called about PTA.
Comment:  Prepping for Christmas and stocking up on beef...and on this day the "Zoning Improvement Plan" was announce:  
  • U.S. Postmaster General J. Edward Day announced the "Zoning Improvement Plan" that would implement a five-digit number identifying each post office in the United States, beginning on July 1, 1963. The "ZIP Code" was initially intended for businesses that had high speed electronic data sorters, but Day said that use by private citizens would not be mandatory, noting that "We're not too concerned if Aunt Minnie doesn't put the numbers on her letter."[69]

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?"
