Clifton, Doug and I went to Durham and Windham in am. Men butchered a veal for Otis in pm. Clifton, the girls and I went to school at night, stopped at LaVerne's a few minutes.
Comment: Hmmm..no reasons for the trips to Durham, Windham or the school....Dad occasionally butchered calfs, pigs and cows for the neighbors and also us...calves and cows were easier because they could be skinned. Pigs had to be dipped and scalded in hot water and then scraped to get the bristles off...that meant a 55 gallon drum of hot water that we filled from milk cans "steamed" at the Manorkill creamery and hauled back to the hill in a rush so it wouldn't cool before we could use it..a miserable job, particularly in the cold....bet not many people have used this....
