Brunch & final session. Packed & left hotel ($35 for 2 nights – each) & drove the 16 miles to David’s. We left about 1 on trip. Stopped at Hauck Museum on Dayton Street. Historical Designated area, but all blacks live there. Then to North Bend. Saw Wm. Henry Harrison monument. To Shawnee Lookout but can’t see where Great Miami & Ohio meet – only a power plant. Then across Whitewater River & followed it north in Indiana to Metamora – restored mill & log cabin village along old canal. Picnic & left about dark. Home about 9 – Just talked. Sarah travels so well.

Up at 6:30 & took Betty & Ellen Imbody down to Findlay Market. Really fresh and beautiful at 7:30 AM. David’s stand busy as usual. Missed breakfast, but in time for conference session. After 3:15 dismissal took Alberta Kilbury, Mildred Foos & Margaret Helen Gast down to Market & up on Eden Park Lookout. Dressed up for banquet at 7:30. Wonderful standing rib roast dinner, but Letha Brown was lethal in her history of Altrusa.

Picked Betty Swanson up about 9:15 & headed for Cincinnati. Missed Cross County Highway & was almost late for bus trip around Cincinnati. Karen on bus with Sarah who was the star of the show. Stopped at Krone Conservatory & Meiers Winery where David joined us. Karen, David, Sarah & I to “Charlie’s Crab” for dinner. Great seafood. Then me back to Carrousel Inn for opening of Altrusa Conference. Fogy morning cleared to a beautiful warm evening.
