My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.

11/11 Sunday
We saw alternately "Pride of the Marines" with John Garfield. Perhaps the finest of the war pictures, it discussed the possibility of struggle for democratic ideals and justifies the war's sacrifices. Jerome Kern died today. He had been found a few days ago unconscious and brought to a hospital unidentified. I read Rumpelstiltskin to Eugene and he moralized that it wasn't right for the former to demand the Queen's baby. The British are attacking Indonesians in force. The new Greek government is no improvement. Attlee and Truman are conferring here on the atom bomb and other things.
