rain 1/2″
To Caledonia PO to pick up pkg from David containing copy of King Book, typeset index & typeset sales brochure. God bless US Postal service & David’s know-how & dedication. To see Ron Laipply about printing book – but binding would be a problem so he opted not to prepare a bid. Then to see John Shumaker at Dresser Industries Marion (Marion Steam Shovel) to get permission to use (& the names) of the 25 Yr Club roster. Ended up with John offering to try to get Dresser to buy 100 copies. Also offered to make exhibit of machines at work in coal field 1/4 scale & have it for June 1 – Also offered their archives to MCHS. Home for “brunch”. Called Geo Brown to jog his introduction to book. Will have it later today. Boosted his family’s commitment to 100 books! Hard bound. Took Sales brochure to Boy Scout office – Wayne Fowler ran 1,000 copies on blue paper. Took them to Heritage Hall for volunteers to fold. To Wyandot Inc & picked up George’s introduction. Home & called David to report on progress & ask him to contact printer in Cinci to gear up for production.
While at HH – Dick West showed me part of the “loot” from Quaker Oats – Fantastic.
