After staying in Osceola for an overnight vacation on Thursday, November 6, 1952, Dale wrote, “Dalene and I visited Louie’s and Lloyd’s in the morning. Had chicken dinner at Mother’s. Home in Muscatine at 5:20 p.m. Stopped at Sears in Oskaloosa and bought Dalene shoes.” Louie (wife Ruth) was Helen’s brother, and Lloyd (wife Clarice) was Dale’s brother.
