January 1951

(Rosa's next diary, is 1951, I don't know if there were any for the years in between, but I don't have them. What you need to know, I, Rosemary was born August 6, 1949, my brother Bob was drafted in to the United States Army and I think Rosa and Orby still live on the farm in Vicksburg, at the corner of W Avenue and Portage Road, Southwest corner. Rosa will be 70 in February, and Orby will be 68 in August of 1951.)
