"officiating" in the temporary absence of
Frank Leizear Jr: and will be there for
a day or two, until Leizear returns.
Fred came down & spent an hour with
us this afternoon. A thunder gust
came up towards evening, but most
of it passed around north & South of us.
we had some high wind & light rain
although it looked very threatning at
one time, it did not amount to much here.
