Slept in. Dave and Dee dressed in black shirts and light pants and spent day in Marion. Visited Martha Neville to thank for $20 wedding gift she gave them. Hemmerly’s-. moving ball at Cemetery- Mall- Rax- Creighton- Depot Sales- Mount Gilead State Park.
I worked at learning new WordStar 5.5. Call from Joe Field- wants meeting for amount of principal with separate note for back interest of $10,000. Dee and Dave picked Mary up and brought her out for supper. Had green beans and potatoes boiled with ham. corn on the cob, fruit salad and minute steaks.
Showed slides of Alaska. Dee and Dave took Mary home about 10:00 and I worked crossword puzzle. George Brown called- John Keegan cornered him and got him to agree to revising Heritage Preservation Endowment Fund so would have seven trustees and John and Phyllis Malo would continue to serve. Jack Telfer called. George has agreed to most of the draft agreement for Wyandot Popcorn Museum. Checked on Saturday.

Millie Sonnanstine called- needs more volunteers. gave her a list.
To bed about 11:30 p.m.

To Cincinnati with Mary, Dave and Dee. Arrived about 12:30. Took David and Karen to Gold Star Chili for lunch. Waited for kids to come home from school after taking Dave and Dee seven miles up the little Miami for a canoe trip. Dee’s first.
Took kids to Carew Tower (downtown)- 47 stories up to Observation Tower. Beautiful clear day. David’s interpretation of geology of area is so helpful.
To River to pick up Dave and Dee- they had a nice trip down. Dinner at Haldeman’s was birthday celebration for Jed and Susannah so had tiny links and cheeseburgers and broccoli, artichoke casserole. all delicious. Gave Karen $100 to eat in rather than take them to a restaurant. I don’t believe they had any money at all.
Gave Suzy the dolphin from Alaska and Jed the jigsaw puzzle map of Denali National Park.
Dave drove us back and was home about 11:00 p.m.

Woke up with bitter dregs of Olgua’s behavior nagging at me. Mary took them [Walt and Olgua] to the airport this morning to fly back to Phoenix. I feel sorry for Walt- can’t be easy to live with that kind of vindictiveness. Mary had her car damaged by man running a stop sign as she returned from airport. I guess we’ve seen enough of the Walter Haldeman’s for a while.
So great to have Dee and Dave around. She’s finding everything so different than California but professes to love it. Took a long walk all around Terradise- made Grapevine wreaths on site.
Dave wanted to have Chinese food in Marion. Had a good dinner with Mary and then her house.

Royce here to clean and get bed ready for Dave and Dee.
Mary came out to see them when they got here. Plane in at 5:30 and still not here by 8:30 when phone rang. it was Olga asking for Mary. When I tried to talk to her to see why she was calling she wouldn’t talk to me. although I had nothing to apologize about I did and it was thrown back into my ears. Walt and Olgua had met Dave and Dee at airport and took them to MCL Cafeteria and then to Bill’s [Bill Lynn, Olgua’s son] in Caledonia even though Dave told them he wanted to come here. But they had sent Janice to Bill’s to have an excuse to go there. When they came out to bring them over here their car wouldn’t start! Poetic Justice! So they had to call Mary- her car wasn’t here! They did get Bill’s car and brought Dee and Dave here and Olgua was very rude to me. Mary and I think all this is repressed jealousy from many years. Spoiled Dave’s homecoming.
So glad to have kids here. We hugged and talked and soon forgot Olgua and her problems.
