So I have two volumes of my grandfather's diaries written in very tiny print. This first one covers 1952-1961. Looks like I spent the night in 1958.

Leather book with a photo of the Alamo dated 1952.
My grandfather was a Brown Shie executive.  He used an Executive Record and travel guide as a diary. Each day has 10 years of notes in very small print. He always notes the temperatures as well. Lots of golf, family visits, church and dr.visits. Things that only a handful of us can remember. In 1958, when I'm mentioned he would've been 58 and I was 2. "Finished dog houses-went after the dogs.Bot Chinese Holly & something I can't make out at Sears. Took dogs got up covey of quail. Pat very excited. Nor brot Coralie and girls out. They stayed all night." Pat was an English Setter.
