Thelma and Lowell's Diary: May 19, 1943
Thelma and Vangy sew all day; Churchill addresses Congress
Thelma and her BFF Vangy spent the day together, sewing and going to the grocery store. “Vangy and I spend most of our days together but from now on Joe [Vangy’s husband] will stay on day shift,” Thelma wrote.
