1980 Thursday. a nice day. I have been disturbed since 4:30 and at 8:30 had a shower ready for surgery. Went in about 12:30. got back to my room about 6:00. Redge, Rosemary, Edith & Lucille was at the hospital nearly all day. Maude Hyatt Ely & Doug Shuler come in a minute.
Footnote: Redge is her son who lives in Charlotte, N.C. Rosemary is her daughter who lives in New Mexico. Edith (lives in Big Stone Gap) and Lucille (lives in Michigan) are her sisters. Maude Hyatt Ely is her neighbor. Doug Shuler is her nephew (Edith's son) who lives in Kingsport.
1981 Friday. Fair to cloudy. Jennings was down. I washed some. The Touraine building burned at Big Stone. We had to go stay with Wendi this eve. Janice worked overtime.
Footnote: Jennings is her brother. The Touraine building in Big Stone was a huge old apartment building. It was close to the Big Stone Gap schools and when I was young, I would walk there after school for piano lessons from Hallie P. Litton. She was on the second floor and I always thought the building was creepy and it had a strong smell - like everyone was cooking something weird. Wendi is her granddaughter who lives in Big Stone. Janice is her daughter, Wendi's mother, who worked at the hospital. I can't remember if people were hurt or burned in the fire but I am sure Janice would remember.
