Sunday, June 21, 1964 Cow Gone

A dry hot day. Some showers in some places. Worked all day. Had a cookout. The first one for 1964. Kennie, Dot, Fern, Lloyd. Billie worked for Lawrence. He also traded cattle. His cow he has had for several years and liked went tonight. She was a very good cow, we liked her very much. Billie hated to see her go. He now has two Guernsey heifers. No more milk. Milked for last time.

Monday, June 22, 1964 MIKE SICK

Another dry hot day. Today Betty got a letter from Mike, he is seriously sick and is expected to be flown back to the US at once to enter hospital for blood disease and bone infection, which is very serious according to Army doctors. Blanche brought money over for TRIP $660. Washed.
