Finished Christmas letter. In at 1:15 for another fitting of lower partial plate. To Center to encapsulate November 1942 Marion County Review from Glen Robinson. Made door swag from Kathi’s evergreen, David’s holly and my expertise and hung on front door of Center.
Shopped at New Dimensions for Kathi and David- $75! Shopped at Meijer’s- cookies for Howard- candy etc for Dave, crossword book for Howard. Grocery shopped at Big Bear.
Pete Belt picked up my wagon am for service. I used his loaner to go to Marion. When he returned mine about 6:00 he told me Howard Koehler’s house at Williamsport and 746 was burning to the ground. Not able to save anything.
