Wednesday
" Got up at 0800. Dad and I went to the ration board to get my food stamps and gasoline stamps, but they were closed. We came back and got mother, and went downtown.
Dad and I went to the Station and found out about my train. I leave tomorrow at 1800. Then we went to dinner and the took Betty's watch to get the clasp fixed.
Went over to school and got Betty then drove her home. We came to our house and waited awhile and then went to get some ice cream for supper.
I took Betty home at 2200, and we rode around first, around the boulevards. We went to her house and didn't leave till 0100. She is going to be so tired. It took about 1/2 hour to say goodbye, but at last I did it, I sure hated to do it. She is sweet."
I have to admit, I got chills when I read that my father had checked on his train tickets and wrote that he was to leave tomorrow. It is hard to imagine what it was like to have lived during that time and be young people playing a key roles.
