Kathi is 49!
Video taping for Agriculture Business Network – Ed Johnson
Called Kathi to wish her happy birthday & tell her that my check for $500 was on the way- use it to buy more rocks for their yard. Bob taking her to German restaurant in Lake Taho for dinner tonight.
To Claridon Prairie at 12:00 – Met Bonnie Bell & Jim – cameraman – of Ed Johnson’s ABN TV program staff – with camera only 18” from my face I answered questions on significance of Claridon Prairie – how I became interested in Prairies and how this remnant came to be preserved. Shot a roll of print film of blooming forbs.
Then in to OSUM campus. While waiting for Ed Johnson in Dean Francis Hazard;s office it seemd an appropriate time to mention my thoughts on adding Terradise to the Nature Center complex of the Marion Campus. He seemed delighted.
On the campus prairie Dean Hazard & I were interviewed by Ed Johnson after a run-through on what he wou ld ask. He is a man that makes seconds count. Had come from one taping and headed for another. Didn’t accompany Bunny, Jim & Tabor Allison to west of Marion where they photographed silene regia – Too hot.
Home – bath- nap- supper – and finished judging the 14 entries in Local History Publications category. 7 yes 7 no.
