We went to the opening day at Bay Meadows Horse Races but it was a flop. You see 12 women would not
give up their work. It was also picketed. We took a picnic dinner. Ernest’s went with us so we spent
the day. We saw the Moffit Field airport where Ernest worked for two months after he came home,
so he told us lots we would not have known.
We passed the place where California was first settled, an old stage coach which was 160 years old.
From there we went to San Mateo. It is a beautiful place. We had a birthday dinner for Ernest and his
youngest boy who is two years old.
We invited uncle Ed McLaughlin and Aunt Nancy. He is a
great-great uncle to John and Jerry. We were invited over to A. V. Short's to a lovely chicken dinner.
