June 18 We picked up Molly and drove to Woodlawn. Sylvia was in Tibbetts Brook Park attending an outdoor party for Susan Cohen. They had delicatessen and punch and played games. I went on the courts with Eugene and his first stroke hit the ball over the fence. On the second he crashed into the backstop and fell to the ground. He bumped his nose and scraped his arm. When he felt uncomfortable we called a city ambulance but by that time he was better. We went on again later and his tennis improved as we played. In the evening Lil and I went out with Sylvia. I got sneakers at Davega then we got knishes hot dogs and whipped cream cakes in Burnside. Carlyle Blackwell is dead at 71 and John Golden at 81.
I do not remember hitting the ball over the fence. I definitely remember running into the fence.
