I posted several entries from Mom's check registry from 1973-74 yesterday. Today I'm going to post on checks written 1971-72.
The front cover doesn't have a bank logo, Mom has handwritten on the "name of bank" blank, "Shasta Co."
Mom named her sister as joint tenant on the account. In case of emergency, I believe. Sylvia could swoop in and take over Mom's accounts (& Mom's kids, of course) ...
First entry 12-20-71 "Joyce -- Glenn sick one week -- end of Jan."
[Mom was teaching elementary school. Did she stay home an entire week while I was sick? I wonder of what? This might have been the time I had mumps or chicken pox. I was 6.]
12/27 "Early Years mag." -$7.00
[self-help subscription?]
12/27 "I can Read Bk. Club" -$2.17
1/9/1972 "E. Burney Milk $1.20 D&G" -$2.40
[paying for milk at school for David & me?]
1/11 "Redding opthamology" -$25.00
1/23 "Johnson Park water" -$3.00
[We lived in Johnson Park near Burney in Northern California.]
...
lots of entries for utilities, groceries, bank ... several entries each for "Joyce Lindler" [maybe she was a babysitter?] and "James Barfuss" [no idea]
...
4/24 "Disabled Am. Vets" -$15.00
[I'm always interested in what charity somebody donates to.]
4/29 "Fall River Pay" +$572.58
[Mom's teaching paycheck?]
5/21 "Hyatt's Bk 2130 Hil Hop Dr." -$5.60
[no idea but it's so specific]
7/25 "Nevada State Dept of Ed" -$1.00
[An application? We were living in California, not very close to Nevada ... maybe she was thinking of an eastward move?]
9/18 "Exchange Bank" -$156.65
[This is the final entry; it's followed by another $500 transfer to Exchange Bank and the balance to Sacto Teachers C.U. ... We moved from Johnson Park? This seems about the right date for it. To Santa Rosa, I think. Or was it Rohnert Park?]
