Thelma and Lowell's Diary: April 1, 1943

Lowell sleeps through the day; Norman Rockwell paints a memorable magazine cover

Lowell got home from work at 8:45 a.m. and after having breakfast with Thelma he slept most of the day. It was raining hard, so Thelma puttered around the apartment and wrote a few letters. That evening they worked on their picture album together while listening to the radio.

Norman Rockwell, the most popular illustrator of Saturday Evening Post magazine covers, turned out a doozy for the April 3, 1943 edition in honor of April Fool’s Day. To read about it, you’ll need to be a paid subscriber. It costs just 16 cents a day to upgrade and join the Booties!
