April 24, 1981 Aunt Estelle wrote

Friday  1981  Fair cool.
I mowed some, washed some.  Ben Jones Jr. got killed last nite in a coal truck, his wife Carolyn real hurt.  She is the daughter of Muriel Slemp (Edwards).  This couple got married at our church Feb. 14, 1981  To revival tonite. 

Footnote:  Guessing that Ben Jones, Jr. and wife are a couple who live in the community.  Don't know Muriel Slemp. 


My Note:   I am driving down the river on Rt. 50 today on my way to Louisville to do a two day show (Sat. and Sun.) outdoors in Cherokee Park.  I am going first to Otisca, Indiana to spend the night and visit with my old friends, Jack and Trudy.  They were our good friends when I was married and we lived in Louisville in 1967-68.   They are the only couple left out of the 4 best friend couples we had.  One of the couples got divorced and he later died and she is remarried to a very wealthy man and living in a big house (palm trees inside the house) in Florida.  The other couple, Marshall and Jackie, our Black friends ( I was a social worker with her), are both dead.  And of course, I was divorced and then Ron died in 1982.   So Jack is the last man standing and in good health I hear - I will see later today.   Trudy was a hairdresser and cut my hair for the two years we lived there.  She is going to cut my hair in the morning.  She is the best and I am so excited to have her cut it again.  I will drive about an hour from their house in the morning to Louisville and set up my booth for the show.  This is a good show with lots of good artists and a ton of people.  Lets just hope they show up Sat. & Sun.    So if you don't see a post for a couple of day, you know why.  I will catch up later.
