Sunday, November 11, 1962

Up at 6:30
Hank called this morning. He had met 2 trains last night. I gave Billy a bath & I took a shower. Finished packing - washed out some things by hand. Mom got a cooked dinner - chicken & noodles. Maurell & Mary came this P.M. - Stayed for supper. They left about 8:00 - we got ready - packed a lunch - Went to Clarence's - had coffee there - left about 10:30 & went to the depot - Clarence went too - almost didn't get my bags checked in time to catch the train - the depot agent was really a slow one. Hardly had time to tell them goodbye - Billy sat up & looked out the window until we got to Cedar Falls - then he laid down & went to sleep - I slept off & on but was so uncomfortable that I didn't get much sleep - we only had one seat. Left Parkersburg at 11:08 P.M. - got to Chicago at 7:15 A.M.
