Thursday, 14 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Eighty two..clear.  I canned tomatoes and peas and ironed.  Marilyn, Jim and kids were here.  David started work at Timberland.  Gerald took milk to Norwich for Joe (Gallo)
Comment:  My first trip for Joe to Norwich was when he called me go with a driver who showed up too drunk to drive.  I had never driven a tractor-trailer rig, only ten-wheeler dump trucks.  Joe said no problem so I did took the trip and it went ok.  At our last stop, the driver went to a bar and was holding up our return trip.  The guys at the stop were urging me to leave him behind but I did not, and waited about another half hour before he showed up..he was surprised I did not leave him and I'd made a friend for life....here is Joe in the 1938 Gilboa Reflector, the year I was born....he is number 35...I'll bet he took a lot of shit back then for his Italian heritage....
