80, Sunny and humid. I washed in am and Sue and I went to Stamford shopping. Got the manifold for the car and Doug went to LaVerne's to put it in. Sue went too. Carol came home with them. Clifton and Doug went to Keith's at night and got a bulldozer. LaVerne's here in the evening.
Comment: Finally figured out that "Keith" was Keith Buel, who's father was the landlord of Dad and Mom's first house just across from the reservoir. This was the Gilboa Post office in later years and of which, our Uncle Merel Hubbard was the postmaster. Keith's father was Bruce Buel. He made a living as a Watkins salesperson traveling door to door to sell Watkins products; health remedies, baking products and other household items. I remember he had a black 1934 Dodge with a Watkins decal on the doors....I remember Mom using the salves on us when we were sick....

The Watkins products certainly do have a long and storied history, for good reason! I have always been amazed at all the great stories I've heard.
