Diary Entry for 10/12/1998

A good fall day. 63°. Vern’s open heart operation about noon. A quadruple bypass. Took about 4 ½ hours. June called from home at 6:20 PM. She and Dan had just got home. Steve and Vern’s pastor with her and Dan all day. I called Jim. He, Jolie, and Shawn Michael were having something to eat. Zackary in Washington DC with funeral detail until Thursday. A long day for me. I was so jittery. Merrill went to day care. No mail but Times came. No school. Pauline called from Marges. Donna having health problems. I wrote letter to Elmer.
