In Minneapolis on Friday, July 19, 1957, Dale wrote, “On vacation. Hot and humid, high 97°. Painted in forenoon. Rested in the afternoon. Stan drove his new Chevy to Muscatine after work. Wind changed at 8:15 p.m. and cooled things off with thundershowers the rest of the evening. Dalene went to a show with Sharon.” Sharon was a friend.
