Mary-Jo’s birthday!  Sweet sixteen! My assembly program today.  Went off very well.  I seem to be able to depend on quite a few of my children- Thank goodness.  Had a trial with Jack Havens as judge, Quinton Daniel and Albert Robson as lawyers!  Ty-Ty, Alyce Claire and I went to Pete’s and Velma’s tonight for supper and games.  Who should be there but Bernard!  Haven’t seen him in – I don’t know how long! Stayed until almost eleven.  Gorgeous night –

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
