Saturday, 1 December, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Saturday, 1 December 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Another beautiful day, same as all week, 60's.  I washed in am.  Was getting ready to take Sue to music lesson when LaVerne called and said David was in Stamford Hospital with smashed fingers.  We went over with LaVerne and Roberta in pm, came back and had supper with them and went back to see David at night.  Clifton, Doug, and Wayne bought a 3/4 ton truck from Robert Fancher.
Comment:  David got his hand caught in a press that made charcoal "Brix", compressed charcoal in waxed, egg-carton like container that you could light easily with a match. He was working at Timberland Charcoal.  He was caught in the press quite a while...brother LaVerne had to re-wire the press control box to reverse it so David could get his hand out...ouch.....it was kinda like this picture, but worse.

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?"
