Thursday, June 4, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

June 4, 1964
Thursday, clear and windy, cool, 50's.  I sewed on Sue's dress.  Betty Losee was killed at Central Bridge in a wreck.  I went to prayer meeting.  Kids went to Grand Gorge for practice.  David worked for Earl in am.
Comment: The Losees, if I have the name right, were distant relatives on my mom's side but I'm having trouble remembering anything about them. If I remember the accident correctly, she pulled onto Route 7 from Route 30 in front of a tractor-trailer coming down the hill from Cobleskill and was annihilated. She probably thought the rig could brake like a car (as a lot of people do) and was fatally mistaken... Kids getting ready for the Fair which starts in August. I somehow missed this whole thing. I was in my last year at SUNY@Albany and must have been very busy....
