On Saturday, February 17, 1968, Dale wrote, “Helen and I drove from Minneapolis to Osceola. Stopped at Gerald and Ressia’s in Latimer, Iowa, a little while. Took Mother to supper at the highway café. All night at Mother’s. Very windy and sunny. Saw Aunt Lena at Webster’s funeral home in the evening.” Gerald was a brother of Helen’s. Lena, above, widow of Pearl Yates, was a sister of Dale’s father Williams. She had died February 15. Dale and Helen drove home the next day.
