Cheryl called me to tell me the brown line proofs of the book was ready in my office. Post office delivered at 8:30. Also she wanted to talk to me. Dave and she have parted. She says Dave’s idea, but I think she has made it impossible for him to stay.
Corrected the 26 pages of the MCHS program book and took it to Big Red Quick Print. They will try to have it by Wednesday for the meeting. Al Coen from Lyon Ribbon in for 2 hours. Had called Leota Gates to line up people to “pagenote” the last 208 pages. The book is 809 pages now so our profit will be about $10,000 when the extra 550 are sold. So after Al left I started to get the packets ready but some got there before I was ready. Betty James picked up the first 600 for proof reading.
About 6 calls on renting the Normandy house but no time to follow them up. To Al Tozer’s to pick up dissolve unit to use for slideshow tomorrow. He gave complete lesson. Got my trays ready.

Gorgeous blue sky day. Weeded some west of greenhouse and cut off Iris. Then typed on program book. Paris and Helen drove in and right out. I called them and they thought I wasn’t home.
Called David but he was playing in the band for the Bengals game so Karen told me about her family. Eric move to Columbus- Linda got a job on lighting with a dance group in California and her folks are on a tour in New England.

Sharon Smith (Robert and Marilyn’s daughter- I did their wedding) wedding at St Mary’s. Worked on membership list of MCHS for program book all afternoon. Hal Boncutters job, but he’s been at it since August 21st and hasn’t gotten it ready. Did bring a picture of Eber Baker for the cover.
Mary, Kenny, Mary B. and Carl picked me up at 4:30 and we drove to Bucyrus for dinner at the Brown Derby. Had red snapper but swapped half for half of Kenny’s steak. We all ordered champagne sherbet- actually grape ice cream- and the serving was about 1/2 pint. Couldn’t believe it was only $0.65. Stopped at Oberlander’s for cider and melons and Hecker’s to see new room. Chased sunset on the way home to get a photo. Worked 3 hours on typing program book “camera ready”.

Took part of Rocky’s cacti collection to shop for sale. Mary moved it all out here while they are building on the room. Richard Straub at shop to sell silk flowers from 11 to 1. Tim Mathews in with quote on Ford 1980 short wheel base van. With air and partial insulation & my 1976 van made a deal for $5,500. Has to be ordered for late October delivery. Signed up for advertising on a phone number pad to be attached to phones. Connie and Tonya working on Christmas. Made 48 items today. Took money from Book Sales to John Cottrell. Total sales now $1,435. Went to Trinity to select pose to be used in new church directory. Ordered 3 5×7 and 12 billfold- $52!! Pat O’Hara in with June and year-end reports. Shows profit of $24,000. He says I can loan the corporation the $5,000 to buy the truck and collect 10% interest on it. Better than the 5% at Home Federal! Dinner at Turoff’s with Hecker’s and Jordans. Then back to shop and finished newsletter for MCHS and took it to Big Red Quick Print. Sure hope they have it by Friday night. Sent Century order for supplies and called Paul Minor to order transparent Oak. Watched “Sex and the Single Parent” on TV- reminded me of my courtship with Ray.
