Steve’s been up Olongapo since last Tuesday. Tuesday he was down and had tea out here. He brought me a box of candy. He came back today. This afternoon I went to Hope’s shower for Francis. I was asked to pour and it was in the paper. It was beautiful. We played bridge afterwards and I won the prize. Tonight we went down to see the “Best People”. It was an awfully good play and Pop did himself proud. Afterward Steve and I went to the Hotel. Last Tuesday we all went out to the Palonce wedding reception including Steve. Later Steve and I went to the Hotel and then down after Pop who was rehearsing.
Jane’s Notes: Wikipedia says: “Unlike the rest of the Philippines which gained independence from the United States after World War II in 1946, Olongapo was governed as a part of the United States naval reservation. After the efforts of James Leonard T. Gordon, the area was relinquished to the Philippine Government and converted into a municipality on December 7, 1959.” I assume that Steve was there because it must have been a US Navel base at the time.
Mom took a break. No new posts until December 8th. Probably too busy socializing to write in her diary.
