October 29, 1963
Tuesday, fair in am but cool, 35, becoming cloudy, windy, 48 high and 2 pm, 40. I finished brown dress and ironed. Wayne went to dentist. David laid off at Jefferson. Wayne got new light for kitchen.
Comment: Life goes on...and on this day in history: "Black Tuesday hits Wall Street as investors trade 16,410,030 shares on the New York Stock Exchange in a single day. Billions of dollars were lost, wiping out thousands of investors, and stock tickers ran hours behind because the machinery could not handle the tremendous volume of trading. In the aftermath of Black Tuesday, America and the rest of the industrialized world spiraled downward into the Great Depression." Mom was 16 years old and just had her 16th birthday party two days before.....
