Sunday, May 22. 2022--I gassed up the van (15 gallons @ $4.24 a gallon) and drove to Kaplan Woods parking lot. Walked to Lake Kohlmier’s north end to see the martin bird house that John Gibson donated to the city. As Gibson forewarned, there were no purple martins anywhere to be seen.

In the waning years of WW II, we were living in Rockville Center, Long Island, I was about 12 and dad was dying of a brain tumor. Mom said NYC was no place for a widow to bring up a child, so she packed us up and we took a train to her childhood home in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. That's where she met and married this widower. He was a clothing salesman and outdoorsman.
