February 25, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

February 25, 1963
Monday, mostly sunny, -5 to 15 windy.  I washed, kids went back to school.  David went to Grand Gorge bank to borrow $175 for motor for his car.  He worked on it in the afternoon.  He went to Roxbury at night.  Had letter from Marilyn and Dougie.

Comment:  Those were the days when the banker knew you and your family and the loan was approved on the spot.  When I got my student loans from the Middleburg bank, the loan officer was also the manager and typed up (on a typewriter) the notes and the checks immediately and also gave me a handwritten payment book.  David probably had to first get the old engine out of the car and probably did it in the haymow where he could have rigged up a block and tackle to lift the engine out and also lower the new one in.  Doug must be in the throes of Navy boot camp and probably not having a lot of fun...and it's still pretty cold, windy and about zero, that's not a lot of fun either....
