Scope and content
This diary, kept during Xavier’s time at PLC, includes Barbara’s weight often when he writes down the results every day: “Babs’s first tooth comes in on February 3rd”. He still watches PLC basketball, writes notes from all the sermons he attends or gives with the title and speaker, notes Paul’s smart answers to Signe, resigns as secretary of Our Savior’s Church and becomes a member of Trinity Church. Babs learns to stand up on July 28th and her bottom teeth come in crooked, so the Xaviers take her to the dentist. Xavier becomes the leader of the Junior League, Paul’s left foot is poorly, and Xavier is still preaching and might even be the temporary chairman of the congregation at Trinity. Addresses appear in the back of the book. In the front: Navy Yard Route card, Membership card for the men’s club, a voting card, and various advertisements.
