Thursday, 9 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Thursday, 9 August 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Cloudy, cool, 58 degrees.  Had Missionary Meeting, Marilyn, Louise, Mrs. Mayo, Myrtie, Madelyn, Virginia, and children were here.  Men all home early for supper...(Mom's underscore)
Comment:  Must have been kinda raucous with all those kids there.  Quite an occasion that all the boys and Dad were home for supper...and only seventeen years before on this day in 1945, the second atom bomb was dropped over Nagasaki from the plane named "Bockscar" named after the pilot Bock.  Betcha did not know the name of the plane before now..Seventy thousand people died and WWII ended 6 days later....
The Bockscar and its crew, who dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb on Nagasaki

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
