Datebook 1923: Saturday, February 17, 1923

Beautiful, bright. Coldest day of winter. Arose 8:15 A.M. Washed. Breakfast. Made bed etc. Letter to Nellie. Dinner. Worked 12 M - 2 P.M. Played volley ball. Shower. Supper. To market. To see "The Fool" with M.L.Y. Very good. To bed 12;15 P.M. Thankful for friends.

He sure has a lot of energy! After working in the kitchen of a restaurant for two hours, he played volley ball, too!

The Fool was a 10-year-old film; below is a little bit of information on it.

And here is a photo of one of the stars of the film, Godfrey Tearle.

About this blog . . .

I've created this blog to make a record of the hand-written journals of Stanford Stillman Closson (1900-1982), who was in his life a Methodist Minister, grandfather, father, brother, husband, son, cousin, nephew and friend. This is the fifth installment of Date Book, covering 1923 (the first four cover 1919-1922). For as long as seems practical, I will record subsequent years (they continue into the 1970s). I'm matching the days--January 1, 1923 to January 1, 2017, for instance--with one entry per day.

The daily entries are pretty short, though, so in addition to recording the diaries, I'm also annotating them, giving additional information about the people, places and events mentioned by Stanford.

And this year, because Stanford is living in Boston, attending Boston University School of Theology, I will be adding information about early 1920s Boston as well as Schenectady.

Through these annotations, I hope to convey a sense of Stanford's life and times. And of course, I'm also hoping to give his descendants a fuller picture of who he was as a young man.
