Bill writes about Dolly and Wayne's wedding on February 4, his 60th birthday party, his new Lincoln Sport Sedan in Danube blue metallic, the new furniture and carpets bought before Dolly's wedding reception, and booming business for his Ideal System Company. He still owes $20,000 mortgage on the house in Glendale.
