Wednesday, September 23, 1964

Partly cloudy. Got up early and walked downtown with Beat, Bill and I did. Beat had to go to a ladies home so Bill and I wandered around. We called at Betty Milne’s. Called to see Roger Crook and Mary Ann Roger’s sister. Then Bill, Roger and I walked up to 7 Duke St. where Bill’s father and mother lived. Then we went out on the street and looked over some of the places where Bill used to live and friends homes and some of his hangouts. Down to the waterfront where he used to go. Called on Peg and came home. Called in to a shop or two.

Betty and Jim came up in evening. Showed them pictures. I bought a few things today. Had Smokies for supper.

Another nice day, up around 9 AM. Had breakfast. Bill, Dave and I took a 2 mile or more walk. We went way up the street and walked way out to the cliffs along the coast. It was a beautiful scenery. We enjoyed it very much. Came home by way of Victoria Park. Took a picture. Then ones out on the cliffs, all the film we had. Stopped to see some outside bowling on down to the docks. Saw all the brats, the life boat, on up home. Over to Mrs. Kyds for tea. Brian and Irene Milne called in evening.
