Kathi called me at work. Overwhelmed by my birthday check for $400. – Mary Jordan had sent her the telegram Walt sent to her in Columbus the Saturday in 1941 when she was born. Had just returned from Cinco. Got up at 6 awakened by David’s tug at my toe as I slept in the living room. To market at 7 & the first customer patiently waiting. Helped uncoverr meat.
Then shopped for fruit & vegetables. Peaches 39 cents lb (79 in Marion) sweet cherries 3 lb $2 (1.29 lb in Marion).
Stopped at Ohio Historical Society & picked Mirror & Tribune newspapers that had been microfilmed. Had Virgil bring pallets out & we stored them in a corner of the chalet.
