June 25 While the painter finished our apartment Lil and I and mom attended Eugene's graduation at Creston Jr. High School. Sylvia had complained bitterly because she couldn't go as we had only three tickets. Eugene had parts in the N.Y.C. "tapestry". After the exercises we all had lunch at "Carols" Concourse & Fordham Rd. We had hamburger steak sandwiches juice, coffee, milk etc. Sylvia joined us so she did not return to school in the afternoon. Afterwards I taught Eugene and beat Herb Levitt and Mac Cohen. Hundreds were rounded up in East Germany and some executed.
I do not remember what the "tapestry" was. The program from my graduation was taped into the diary here.
