Office picnic

(1960 July 19)

All I can retaliate with is that we are getting ready for an office picnic in our yard the 30th and expect about 20 people including about 6 children. Have been mending, scrubbing, painting lawn chairs, making new seats, etc. All is so run down. All so hard to do. Guests include Kanables, Birketts, Kennedys, Jacobs, Arnettes. Either I or Louis [Saloutos] will bake an enormous ham and have all the usual to go with it. The mosquitoes are fierce and I hope it doesn't rain. Read Madison was declared a disaster area because of mosquitoes. So much rain. Well, Skip, wish me luck.
