for Monday August 8th

1973 Abt. At Stanley Ave. A funeral mass for a dead calf. Steve and Michael on the left. The minister is Jeanni. On the right is Patti hidden behind the kneeling girl. I had a good friend who raised cattle. He had a small sick calf that needed to be bottle fed. In spite of the best of care the calf died, hence a funeral. The calf was buried. A pillow served for the funeral.

These two pictures are from Jeanni. Two of 50 older ones from her photo albums. This picture is 1967 abt at Tamoshanter, with the play area in the background. Five beautiful children, soon to be six. Looks like Jeanni will ruin her appetite with Bugles.
