Elton came for the Regensbergs to go to Colmor – Pauline will stay there about a week for recuperating. We left Albuquerque about 2:30 P.M. and came home by way of Bellen for Betty’s benefit. Alyce Claire didn’t want to and it proved to be a longer, more unfamiliar road full of curves. Home about 9. No mail from home – letter with money order $10. Bills mostly! Grr!

21-year-old Hugh “Idzy” Rutkowski’s bombing spree came to an horrific end when a bomb detonated as he was assembling it.

Rutkowski is responsible for a nine-day wave of terror bombings that spread across Milwaukee.
