Partly cloudy. I washed early in am. Marilyn, girls and I went to Middleburgh shopping then stopped at Franklinton and helped Marilyn clean.

- Franklinton (also called "The Vly") – A location in the north-central part of Broome on NY-145, south of Vlaie Pond. Vlaie or Vly is a word for swamp which comes from the Dutch settlers of the area. We always called it The Fly....Uncle Clifford used to run this store in the early-mid forties and I remember going in and buying stuff. I remember him telling my Dad about some scam some "city people" tried on him involving change for a big bill but have forgotten the details. Aunt Evelyn's and Uncle Clifford's house was up the street on the left just out of view....I have fond memories of Franklinton and playing with James Barry and Glenn Taylor, both slightly younger than I. We also visited "The Vly"...
