Saturday, 7 April 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Rainy, we washed and hung clothes upstairs.  Jim, David, and Wayne went to Windham in am. Gerald went to work.  Marilyn, Carol, Sue and I went to a business meeting at church at night.  Marilyn cut the girls' hair.
Comment:  I think I was hauling wholesale milk out of Prospect Dairies in Stamford for Joe Gallo.  I delivered crated milk to about six or so creameries along the east side of the Hudson down route 9 to Poughkeepsie, Wappingers Fall,  Fishkill and Peekskill.  Ten to 12 hours and I  got $25  a trip.  Drove a 1959 Ford F900 tractor with 40' reefer...had to handle every damn carton and crate....not bad money for back then..would be about $263 per day today....my truck was green.....
