Coal cutter

(1969 February 9)
What a time with Lawrence [3+] and the accident!  ...  O - the parallels I could draw!  Remember when we were all ready to go to a Masonic banquet, and Lawrence's father decided to take a silver knife and try to cut a piece of coal in two at the sink.  Nearly cut his finger off.  So off to the doctor and then to the banquet.
