January 8, 1979, Monday, Aunt Estelle wrote

Some snow on ground.  Rained all nite.  Some slick places.  Wendi come for Wise didn't have school.  I washed and cooked some.  I went down to Uncle Millard late.  Today is his 83rd. birthday.  I called Pearl Barkley and she was grieving for it is one year since W. L. died.  She is so sad. 


Footnote:  Wendi is her granddaughter who is in school in Big Stone Gap which is in Wise County, Va.  Wise County is partly rural and the school buses had a hard time on the back roads.  Uncle Millard Baker  was a half-brother to her Mother, Lula Baker Reasor.  Pearl Barkley is her cousin and they have been good friends for all their lives.  W.L. was Pearl's husband. 


I messed up the date for yesterday, should have said Sunday.  Hope all is well with each of you.
