Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
Jackson (President of the New England Mission) who invited us to dinner after church. After a good shower we went to another Howard Johnson to eat, then drove around through the most mixed up and crooked streets imaginable. To bed late - the elevator man said it was 98 degrees hot!"
