Rainy, 34 to 39. Clifton and I went to Windham in am, stopped at Betty's a minute, Tom is in Canada. I washed in pm. I had a letter from Marilyn.
Comment: Wonder if Tom was skiing in Canada.....he was one of the good guys...here is his Obituary.....unfortunately, it does not convey his kindness and respect he showed to some of his less fortunate cousins....never knew he was born in Ohio, I did not know his sisters, I do remember his father. Tom died about six years younger than I am now which is certainly a cause for reflection....
