Monday, November 20, Lee and Jim went to the movies at Monticello. Thursday was Thanksgiving Day. The Leavenworths feasted on a goose dinner.
President Roosevelt had moved Thanksgiving to one week earlier than normal. The thinking was that it would help bolster retail sales. This was protested and after 1941, Thanksgiving took place on the fourth Thursday of November.
Thursday, the last day of the month, the Leavenworth family was together and celebrated a second Thanksgiving (on the original day) upstairs at Clara’s.
