(1966 Spring)
The LeHew house is being dismantled, and I have been over there - bought a chair to replace that big striped one that Grandfather paid 500 for years ago. So LL says - or was it 300 (?).

Sit-down strike
(1966 Spring)
The UW students have been having a sit-down strike vs. giving out grades for evading draft. Copying Chicago U. It seems to me they would do better to spend time studying, but it is going through channels etc.

Water
(1966 Spring)
Or Robin never left her nest, and I am so proud of her. And I'll tell you what attracts wild life - water. I have been putting some out and enjoy seeing all birds and squirrels bathe and drink. Never knew it could be so much fun.

Elephants
(1966 Spring)
Kiwanis sponsored a wild animal movie - Africa. ... It was in the Auditorium but a small portable screen. Good pictures tho. ... Did you know the elephants feed their young from their two breasts which are between their front legs? And often 2 young. One 5 years old and one as old as 3? I never knew that before.

Jury trial
(1966 Spring)
Monday was drawing the jury and preliminaries. Never quit court house till 5:30. Tuesday the same - a a school bus of all involved, judge, jury, attorneys etc. visited scene of crime. Witnesses on stand. Mr. Broce [the plaintiff, LL's client] testified to several documents - identified them - then came one and he said he didn't know - forgot his glasses. ! Daddy covered for him. An attorney has to be ready for every crisis that may come. By Wednesday night the other side decided to settle and were we glad.

Xmas tree farm
(1966 Spring)
Starting last week, he [LL] worked like mad every day preparing for jury case this week. He was for Broce who operates a Xmas Tree farm at Lone Rock vs. Electric Co. who by negligence burned down some acres of trees by dropping hot wires, as far as I can make out. By the time LL has been with it all day, he wants a change of subject when he gets home.

Remote
(1966 July 4)
[Mary Margaret, at RC hospital for tonsillectomy] has a wonderful corner room (#325) - the Housner Room - complete with TV high over the dresser mirror. The first thing she did as we waited for nurse to come in was to snoop in all the dresser drawers. In the top dresser drawer she immediately pulled out a gadget and started snapping it. She said, "Gee - I never saw one of these before. It must be remote control." It was, and the Picture showed on The Box. I was sorry it didn't operate something else just to teach her a lesson.
