Jess Pierce substituted for our regular speaker. Ed Ledvina has a birthday today, he is ___. I supply him with 2 pints "Old Forester." This evening took Thres, Mary Ann, Aunt Lena, Annie Heip to Oshkosh Civic Symphony Concert. Donald (son) plays violin with the orchestra. This morning I had a cardiogram made at Mercy Hospital by Doctor A.G. Koehler. Drs. Geo. V Lynch and Will Wagner dropped in and told the doctor to give me the works. My blood pressure is 110/70. Will have to wait a few days for the cardiogram to be developed." [from A. E.
