John's comments

Corrected days of the week for January, 1931. Working on February, 1931.

John's comments

Well I have come to the realization it is impractical to transcribe almost 20 years of entries sequentially. From here on I was be posting entries based on significance, interest etc.

Also I may chose to make a comment - hey it's my blog ;) - I will put them in brackets and they will be highlighted green.

Onward .........
