Monday, cold and windy, 5, no snow. Clifton, the girls and I went to Oneonta and got rugs, mirror and a vacuum cleaner, home 2:30. Clifton went to (Masonic) lodge at night. Wayne went to Laura's in afternoon. Comment: Dad was a lifelong Mason and in 1981 received a 50th Year Masonic Award from Vernon Lord, below left and "Prof" Peckham, below right....Dad suffered a stroke in 1975 or so trying to wrestle a large hog onto a truck to take to the slaughter house and in the picture below, you can see his partially paralyzed left hand...it pained him constantly....I remember well one time when we were talking about his stroke. He was very resentful toward his doctors for not warning him of the risk.....
