11th	12th	13th
1960	Grandpa came via bus and we took him out to Nelson's for supper. Angi, Sandra and Lynn were kicked out of the Richfield Theater [ed - Angi thinks it was because they were so noisy].
1964	Rollingstones. I was on duty from 3PM so I was there when they ordered hamburgers and I was on duty to carry it up to the room. Mick and one other (don't recall) were in the room getting dressed and the manager was rushing in and out between the rooms getting them to speed up and get off to the show. So amidst all this tension I show up and Mick tells me to put the tray down at a certain spot. And I do it tips, spilling orange juice all over the burgers. So I go to the kitchen and explain that I need the order done again only to be told by the redneck cook that he ain't doing it for them queers. It needed to be done ASAP and that is how I ended making new burgers myself. They gave me a big tip and went off in the cars taking the food with them. [ed. - It was a year before I would realize who they were]. Mick had signed the meal docket and no way could I find it].	MJ
1971	I was the official photographer at Dave and Kelera's wedding. Had a rehearsal at 10AM - in the school chapel. Polished my shoes, got dressed and went to Whites' to wait it out. Ivan dropped in.

Short plain ceremony. Down to the bure where mats were laid out for group photos and then grog. Magiti in the school dining hall. I went to Breeze's for Scrabble and didn't go to the reception.
1972	Brochure for a book (Miles Chart of Hot 100 by Martin and Daniel Miles) that has a graph for each Top 100 song showing its weekly position. Well, I had to have it, so I wrote out a check for $84.50.
