May 1, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 1, 1963
Wednesday, rain turned to snow,  30 in am.  Cloudy and rainy 30’s cold.  I ironed. Doug called Albany about the trip to Virginia.  Ronnie was here to see Doug in am.   Jay Smith's
funeral. LaVerne and Roberta here at night a few minutes.  Clifton went to Grand Gorge and Ashokan.

Comment:  Ronnie is Ronnie Schermerhorn who lived at the top of Bull Hill in West Conesville and was a good friend of Doug's during his youth.  Doug getting ready to ship out I guess, on a ship out of Virginia.  Stıll cold and dreary.  We once had snow ın late mıd May that closed the schools for a couple of days......On this day in 1963 the first American, (James Wittaker) conquers Mount Everest.
