December 1, 1977 – Thursday - Alternative Considerations of ...

Wanda had a cold and stayed in bed all day. When I came home after the service about2:30, she was worried about Jossie. A cousin brought her some dinner.I went to the fruit stand on Hyde and Geary and bought some grapes.Had a salad, fruit juice and buttermilk and some grapes for my mid-day meal. Estellecame home to eat. She has been watching her diet and has lost much weight.Estelle and Wanda discussed Wanda’s passport problem. No record of when her birthwas made and she wasn’t included in the census until 1924. Estelle suggested otheracceptable sources of information, such as school records.I took a nap for an hour and a half.Went to the evening service at 6:30.Visited with Lisa. She will get full retirement income from the University of California,Berkeley, also disability from Social Security. I asked what job she wanted to do in themission, she wasn’t sure, perhaps canning or serving in the kitchen.Most of the evening service was spent in making arrangements for the Banks rockconcert next Thursday, in addition to regular security personnel, a list of volunteers wastaken. I did not volunteer, as I have enough to do with my regular job, very tight andcareful security will have to be maintained because the Temple might be up for a chargeof law violation, particularly if marijuana is brought on to our premises. There wasdiscussion about the age limits for attendance of our young people. It was decided thatchildren would not be admitted under the age of 15, though there will be babysitterservices provided.The service was out at 9:00 pm. Those serving at the rock concert met in the Gold Roomto get their assignments.Mike Klingman told me that the Temple building in the Valley has been sold to anotherchurch. Mike lives at the Ranch up there. When he comes down on weekends, he spendstime in the Law Offices, writing letters among other things.Gina took us home in two loads. I was in the second.We learned that Jossie had helped in the kitchen throughout the morning service. Shewas happy at feeling herself useful and also hopeful because Jim Randolph had told herthey were looking at her papers.I read newspapers, drank some Sanka and had an apple while reading newspapers.I had trouble getting to sleep, partly because Virginia got up a good deal. I finally readfrom 1:30 to 2:00 am.
