Saturday, 6 January, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Rainy, 38 high. David, Wayne and Clifton went to Grand Gorge to have Ralph Yanson appraise the car. Rained hard most of the night, windy. Ice storm in Middleburgh and Cobleskill. Susan had her music lesson at 4 pm. Stopped at Leonard's on the way home. Annual church meeting, church voted to get out of the convention, 7 -14 with 3 blanks. David smashed his finger in car door, he and Wayne stayed at Schemerhorn's all night.
Comment: Leonard's must be Leonard Haskins, Dad's first cousin on his mother's side and a close friend in his youth. The convention is the Southern Baptist Convention and I remember this incident. I think they got out because they thought the convention too liberal. Certainly not the first time anyone of us smashed a finger in a car door. Wonder why it doesn't seem to happen now? Different design?
And on the west coast, in 1962 someone is having a birthday...Marna, Jim, Dean, Patty....
