Stunt - Vacation at grandmothers.
Time - May 23 to June 3.
Place - Murdock, Ill & Vacinity.
Went to grandmothers the day after school was out. Stayed 11 days. Met several nice kids - Ray Jones, & Eddie Jonnes among them. We were in Champagne Urbana, Bloomington, Clinton, Crisman, Newman, Villa Grove, Camargo, Tuscola and several other towns around Murdock. Had two parties given in our honor - one by Ruthie Porterfield & one by Lloyd Wayne Their was also a Major Bowles program in which Ruth & I participated. Saw two shows while there. "[Fallow the Flut?]" and "Absolute Quiet". Both good. The climax, I think, was the fish. we got home June 3 at 8:00. A grand time was had by every one in general & myself in particular.
