In Muscatine on Sunday, September 30, 1951, Dale wrote, “Paid Mr. Lease $50 rent + $10 on furniture, balance due on furniture $74. Warm day. Dalene & Sonnie went to a show in afternoon. Stanley went to Mike’s in afternoon for supper. TV at night.” Sonnie was a neighbor friend of Dalene’s, and Mike was a classmate of mine.
