Jan 24 Sunday Eugene has quit the Boy Scouts.
Jan 25 The Hemingways crashed their plane in Africa but escaped unhurt. The "Big Four" opened a conference in Berlin.
Jan 26 Eugene and a group of boys went to the Sutton on discount tickets to see Walt Disney's "The Living Desert".
Jan 27 Lillian got shoes for Eugene at McCann's [sic] $7. Eugene drew "The Red Peri" SG Weinbaum, "The Currents of Space" I Asimov, "The Green Hills of Earth" RA Heinlein, "Baseball's Greatest Lineup" Christy Walsh, "Baseball Personalities" Jimmy Powers.
Jan 28 Eugene stayed home with a cold. Russia's demand for a seat for Red China in the UN is stymying [sic] the foreign ministers conference.
Jan 29 Eugene was still home but felt better.
Jan 30 Mom and pop came over for dinner. We watched the Lakers-Milwaukee basket ball game, then the children and Lil played piano. After mom and pop left, Lil and I went to the Kingsbridge to see "From Here to Eternity" with Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Donna Reed and Deborah Kerr. It is the prize winning picture of Army life in Hawaii before Pearl Harbor.
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.
