Wednesday, August 1, 1962

Got up at 6:00 - had a good start - Went through Aurora - stopped at a Truck Stop & ate breakfast - had just left there when the red light flashed on the generator indicator - Hank pulled off the side of the road - checked under the hood - got back in & the car wouldn't budge either way - he hitchhiked back to the truck stop - got a wrecker to come out - he pushed us into Hinckley, Ill. - went to the Ford garage - got there at 8:30 (our time) (7:30 their time) - Didn't leave until 4:55 their time - Got Billy's hair cut - him & I went to the Park - messed around there all day - I called home & told Mom we had transmission trouble. It cost $93.56 - We stopped before getting to Cedar Rapids & ate maid-rites in the car - I drove some - got home at 8:45 - Clarence's & Maurell's were here - everyone came out to the car to greet us - had lunch - everyone & everything looked so nice - Mom had the house looking so nice. Really seemed good to see everyone.
Laurie is really cute.
