Back to New Jersey

Friday, August 7th. Funeral for a Friend. Up early, then departed at 8 am from Southampton for Huntington, Long Island, where we attended the funeral of the father of Dad’s college roommate, Joe Swenson. Arrived at St. Patrick’s Church in Huntington just in time for 10:45 am service. Moving service, great music for 88-year old Walter Swenson, whom everyone loved and respected. Attended post-Mass reception with Swenson brothers and family. Great catching up with Joe and Cindy and the rest of their extended family. Left for Short Hills at 3 pm; after bad Friday traffic, arrived in NJ at 6:00 pm. After three holes of casual golf at Baltusrol, had pizza dinner then to bed, exhausted
