Thelma and Lowell's Diary: August 2, 1943

A rainy day in NOLA; FDR goes fishing in Canada

Lowell was working the day shift this Monday, which meant 7-3. “It rained practically all day,” Thelma wrote. Other than 14 cents spent on rides and 30 cents on “eats,” she had no other news to share.

President Roosevelt, who loved to fish, was vacationing at Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. To read about his trip, you’ll need to be a paid subscriber.
