tonight. I got out of sitting at the Speakers table and we sat with Barbara, Marian, Charlie and Dick. Weaver, Director of Customer's Research of General Motors was the speaker and while I got little or nothing out of his talk except entertainment, I got that in good measure. An unprepossessing looking little man, he sure had a "line." His story about the man who drove 87,692 miles in his Oldsmobile, looking at the "fundament" of the super cutie-cutie on the hood emblem, and never got one damn millimeter closer to the object of his desire, was a splitter.
 
Babbie was in very low spirits tonight - had her long hair cut off and thought the barber cut it too short - she cried and cried. And her teeth must be straightened starting this summer - a big job but very essential since on the right side the uppers miss the lowers completely. We should be glad means are available to do it as it will mean a lot to her, but it is going to cut a big chunk out of the budget.
