June 29                                 Sackets Harbour, New York

The weather grew warm and humid and we became more languorous.  David had some work to finish, I had reading to do, and we enjoyed watching Sunday morning TV shows.  We stayed in Sackets Harbour another day.

The afternoon was sunny but cooler.  I decided to walk up the small hill to the battleground site and attend the afternoon band concert.  I joined a group of approximately 500 people seated in folding chairs or on blankets shaded by many tall trees.  The band consisted of twelve people, men and women of varying ages, and played a wide selection of swing and jazz music.  The acoustics were excellent.  It was a free two-hour concert and the band was obviously a favorite of the crowd who enthusiastically applauded each number.
