Arnold's Story: July 11, 1949

The new kitchen appliances have been delivered (electric range, sink and disposal, dishwasher, freezer, washing machine, and water softener) and are stored in the rumpus room. The rumpus room was a downstairs casual room with a pool table, if my memory serves me right. Arnold's wife/our mother recalled seven levels in that house at 501 East Mountain St., Glendale. There was an entry and living room, up a few steps to the dining room and kitchen, up one floor to two bedrooms, from the dining room up a half flight to the main bedroom, from the dining room down one story to the rumpus room, which was at the same level as the patio in the back yard. And I suppose the garage was a few steps from the kitchen and pantry. I count only six levels here, so I must be missing one.

Little sister Laura writes with excitement about the kitchen remodeling job (all new appliances: electric stove, electric freezer, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and washing machine). She also went recently to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (from the 1932 Olympics) for the circus and fireworks, and she hosted a sleepover with some friends.

I guess this Laura Hall is the Mrs. E. E. Hall of previous correspondence.

This may be the "snap" from Mother's Day mentioned in Hazel's letter:

I do recall seeing a couple of copper craft items stored in boxes in our home in Gainesville, Florida. I guess they might have been the result of Dolly's efforts, although Hazel mentioned that she and Pat, too, took a copper craft class. I do not think anyone kept them as we did not know their history.

Her diabetes is improving but she is going back soon to the Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara. And she has a newfound love of God and church.

 It is hard to say which John has written this letter, but certainly a Caltech classmate:
