Monday, August 31, 1964 The frances Hubbard Diaries

August 31, 1964
Monday, cloudy and showers, hot and humid.  I took Carol to school in am to see Mr. Hill about her schedule.  Clifton and I went to Albany in pm to see about a job. Hard thunder showers while we were there.
Comment: Dad is having a slow summer for work. Usually, his seniority in the union would allow him to work most of the time. Guess the work on the interstate highways is moving toward completion. That kept the whole family going for a while. I worked on I84 and I think LaVerne also before he went to work for Timberland. Dad worked on a lot of toll stations in the early sixties. Ike provided a great economic boon to the construction industry when he developed the program..take a look..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
