March 30, 1964
Monday lovely warm day. Had letters from Louvilla and Lorraine saying Glenn was real bad. Allen Case had died. David's state tax came. I wrote to Lorraine, Billie, and Louvilla. Allotment check came from Dougie.
Comment: Doug is saving money through the military allotment program. I saved about $2400 while I was in the Army and thought I was rich when I got out. Reggie Haskins saved enough to buy a 1956 blue and white Ford Sunliner when he got out and I always thought that car was the coolest in the world......Glenn Taylor was my first cousin, son of Dad's sister Evelyn and Clifford Taylor. Glenn had only a short time left to live. He died of kidney disease on April 11, 1964, at the age of twenty-two.
