My dear faithful fans of these journal entries. My apologies on getting so behind. My life has been busy - and because John Arnold Wilson has such difficult-to-read handwriting, the process of transcribing is more cumbersome then with Virginia's - lots of staring at the entry hoping the letter shapes and meaning will dawn on me. So we have lost the charm of reading the journal entry on the same day it was written - but I would like to continue, if a few weeks off. Onward!

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
