Trip To Salt Lake City – prior to 1937

This was found in a small Diary Atlas Manual dated 1929. I do not know the date of the entry I am typing. It is the only one I have found where his dad is still alive. There are other entries covering work done in 1937 but this handwriting is clearly from a younger child.  It is written in pencil and quite faded.
