Aunt Vera's Diary - April 14th

In the summer of 2019, I was able to photograph the entries in the diary of my paternal great-aunt, Vera (Haley) Stuber.  The entries cover the years from 1968-1971 time frame and provide an interesting view of her daily activities. Items in brackets are my notes for further research.
