The daughter of Walter, of Walter's Barn, has graciously sent some new information and photos about her late father's Palos Park, Ill. riding stables. (Dot went on a hayride there with her friends in March of 1945.)
Dot's Diary Blog: Stories and background information related to Dorothy's 1945-46 personal diaries. Dot, my mother, was 17 in 1945, living in the Englewood neighborhood on the south side of Chicago.
Dot's diary entries are accompanied by pictures from her scrapbook and, in some cases, by recollections from her younger sister Louise (“Sis”), and by the news of the day. I've also added comments of my own.
I remember riding horses at Walter's Barn in 1960. I was 13 or 14 at the time. I went out with the third group but came back with the first group. The horse had a mind of its own.
