October 11, 1932 - Got a ride to school with Bob Nurnberg this morning. Still pretty cold. I went to League at Maas' with the kids tonite. We played indoors.
October 12, 1932 - Warmer today. Got a ride home from school tonite with Mike, in the lumber wagon.
October 13, 1932 - Got a letter from Marjorie and her pupils asking us over there for a Halloween party October 28. Talked to Mayme this evening. I asked her to come home with me tomorrow nite so she could get a permanent from Anna Boyd.
I have no sparkling commentary on Grandma's comings and goings but want to get this posted as it is one post closer to whenever Grandpa enters the picture. I wonder what on earth is taking him so long.
I did find something interesting that happened far away from Winside on October 11, 1932. As part of observances of the 100th anniversary of the invention of the telegraph by Samuel Morse, the chairman of the Postal Telegraph Company sent a telegram around the world in a record time of 4 minutes and 45 seconds. The message, "What hath God wrought," was identical to the original one that Morse sent from Baltimore to Washington in 1844. And look where we are now with global communications. That's a photo of the somewhat intense-looking Samuel Morse.
