Thursday, 27 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

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....

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?"
