Hazel has forgotten to forward Arnold's insurance premiums again.
She describes the big 60th birthday party for Bill with their closest friends, children and Bill's siblings. The oldest, Mary, has died already but the second oldest sister, Mary Ann, has a good memory and provided some information on their parents Jacinto and Marianne. Bill was clearly proud to show off his new Lincoln and the modernizations at his business, The Ideal System Company.
Among Bill's birthday gifts are an electric popcorn popper and and an automatic juicer; from the 1940s for several decades kitchen and home gadgets start filling up homes across America.
Hazel remains active in her church.
