Thursday, 27 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Cool and rainy. Clifton didn't work, we went to Middleburgh in pm and stopped at Marilyn's. Doug bought a Mercury car and went to sale with Earl at Cobleskill. LaVerne, Roberta and David here in the evening. Donald Brainard had a wreck on Grand Gorge Hill.
Comment: It was dangerous out there driving those curving and steep mountain roads. Cattle, deer, horses, dogs, cats, birds and various wild animals were a constant danger, especially at night. I've personally hit two deer, two cows, several dogs and cats. I found a pheasant in my grill one hungover morning. My sister Sue hit and killed a horned owl....here is Donald Brainerd as a junior in high school in 1952, 10 years before his wreck.....last row on the right....
