April 19, 1965
Monday, sunny and warmer, 40, snow melted a lot. I washed in am and covered a chair. Earl here for dinner, he left in pm and went to Ken DeWitt's. Wrote to Dougie. Edna Brainard died suddenly at night heart attack.
Comment: I think Edna was the wife of Ralph Brainard who used to work for Dad when he was town superintendent. Donald Brainard was a close friend of LaVerne's during high school and beyond. There were a couple more Brainard kids, Marie and Chuckie, and Margie. I remember those kids going to work with Ralph on the town roads when we went to work with Dad and spending quite a bit of time together......here is a picture of Dad when he was town superintendent of highways standing next to a new Walter Sno Fighter snow plow....
