It's Christmas, 1966 in Dan's and my first house at the corner of Greenfield and Greenwood in Mt. Prospect, IL. The Kellogg-Meredith-Pellettiere family gathered to have dinner together. Notice 3 of Dan's paintings - and a Van Gogh - behind us.
I'll go back through some of the many events of 1966 another time. Here's what Ruth said on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 as the Kelloggs left to return to their condo in Clearwater FL. They no longer had a house or apartment in Illinois for the first time since 1929.
Saturday, December 31, 1966 - "There were few flakes of snow in air as we left Diane & Dan's at 7 AM. D&D got up to see us off and would probably go back to bed. We gradually ran out of snow area, taking road slower because of blowing snow over the road. I ate 2 P.M. lunch alone at Kum Back Inn while J. got the car greased. I then drove clear here - to Hopkinsville - the last 25 miles after dark - 5:15 J. went for haircut."
Sunday, January 1, 1967 - "We left Ky. Motel at 7:15 A.M. Had rain & fog last part of trip today, so were glad to get to the Robinhood Motel south of Atlanta, Ga. early - 4:20 eastern time. We had dinner south of Monteagle (where we first hit fog in mountains, but not hard to see road.) They predict snow tonite in that spot. I did about 1/2 of the driving today."
