In to Heritage Hall, leaving my car at McDaniels (Inskeep) for rotor brakes repair. Their office closed so borrowed Harry Bard’s car to get a McDonald’s breakfast. Called David to see if I can get the printer working. When I mentioned a short cable that I didn’t know what it was he said it was adapter for Osborne executive but I found it was needed on the Osborne one to make it work. Don’t know who disconnected it in the move. Moved secretary’s and treasurer’s records from Center to Heritage Hall. But crucial 1986 records of Elections not there- need to show history of trusteeship of Heritage Preservation Endowment Fund.
Mary Rainier didn’t show up for training. Borrowed Mary’s car to come home and work on Fall Fair poster, eat, and close windows. Back at 3:00 for Cook’s Show Off committee meeting. Bake sale during Popcorn Festival on September 9th. Borrowing shop’s Chevy wagon. Home again to rest. Back in at 7 For Fall Fair committee meeting.
Called Hilda Hemmerly- Pat, John’s wife answered. Can’t make it to funeral tomorrow.

half inch rain
Worked on Huber newsletter and entered membership info from financial reports. Picked Mary up about 12:15- she drove. Don and Fanny already seated at 1:00 when we got to funeral home. Sat with Don, Gale Zimmerman and we three only ones of Floy’s relatives I saw. But room full of neighbors and friends and Fanny’s nieces and nephews and family. Burial at Hueston Cemetery. The church for lunch. Fanny asked Mary and me to sit across from her. She much more like herself today. A real ritzy 94-year-old lady. Took some flowers to their house, including our small mixed design arrangement. Waited about an hour for Fanny to come home with two nieces. The neighbor girl will stay all night with her.
Ken Hemmerly called saying Merlin Hemmerly died in Columbus Monday. Had cancer for several years.
Estimate from Baldauf on kitchen cabinets is $4,750 for cabinets plus $600 for counter. Guess I’ll still be considering Wolohans.

Mr Asher out to give me estimate on new roof. This one is about 20 years old. TV room leaking and around chimney. Would be $3,400 for 20-year regular shingles and $4,000 for 25 year guarantee textured.
Set out rooted impatiens directly into garden. Finished pulling Sweet Woodruff from Savin Juniper bed by side entrance.
Worked on transferring info to new computer. Got records ready for Huber board meeting
Picked up flowers and and got to Shields funeral home about 5:00 p.m. Floy looked 40 instead of 97. Had dinner at Maple Leaf Restaurant and back to Marion in time for Huber board meeting at Heritage Hall.
Mike Dietsch again blocked their giving anything for purchase of post office- after all MCHS (me mostly) did for them to get started. Got June and July financial report showing over $6,000 in a savings account!
Call from Charlie Evers. John Keegan mad because he was not re-elected a trustee of Heritage Preservation Endowment Fund.
