Klyng still out – Velma ate lunch with us – I was invited to a weinier roast with about 40 of those 9th graders but I had to refuse. I don’t like to leave Alyce Claire much nowadays – And besides I feel that I have to do something with the talk of the Cruz Azul ( Mexican Red Cross) Mrs. Martens asked me to tell them something of my trip last summer. I don’t know what to say. There is so much of that summer that is not easily expressed. Can take the pictures that I have. That will help. Nellie Monroe came over for the first time this year though she has tried to make a date – Betty came to while her folk went to “When a Man’s a Man” Hardly any work done on the “speech”

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

hachikou

Sadly, Hachiko the dog dies. He is the Akita that faithfully waited for his master every day in Japan for 10 years after his death. A film was made about the story and a statue stands in his tribute.
