Mary out with her will to get help in revising it. Since she sold her house & gave to the family items mentioned in it, she’ll need a new one.
While she was here, Rich Bradley stopped by to pick up Edith Keeler’s 1938-1980 bird lists for OSUM files. And he had as a gift to me from him & Amy a copy of Peterjohns ‘Birds of Ohio’. The first ‘update’ since the 1903 ‘Birds of Ohio’ by Dawson that I have. Quite a surprise!
After they left I wrote up proposal for funding & giving under a charitable Remainder Trust $50,000 to Marion Co. Parks District – also a background statement on why I’m giving it. The money would be given to the Endowment Fund of the Marion Co. Park District.
Nice to have Wed. night TV back after 2 weeks of Olympics but I’m watching ‘America in the 40’s’ on PBS.
31 mil. registered for draft – 300+ conscientious objectors
How did we live through all that?
