Who was left out in 1990? :)
I wonder about that cryptic entry too. I'd bet it was Elizabeth - who was about to have Jim. No, that can't be. I think Jim was almost a year old then. Still, I think that's who it was that didn't join us. We should do a beachside vacation again, en famille. Or, I'll just go alone. IDC.
No journal entry on Aug 11, 1961? You must have been pre-occupied on that day.
