Irma Campbell died this a.m. Had worked with her in MCHS, Altrusa and Garden Forum. Cancer started in the arm last May.
Royce here to clean. repairman from Mohat’s here at 2:00 to fix ice maker in refrigerator and replace fuse in microwave.
Into Marion Historical Center at 4:00. Evers, Hickson, Neidhart, Telfer, George Brown there too. Too much hashing over “We might do this” or “if this happens this could happen”- finally I pinned them down to name heads of acquisition, feasibility and fundraising.

Spent all day dismantling tree and packing angels and other decorations. Only had about half of my stuff out this season, but it was plenty.
Cooked a pork roast and sauerkraut and invited Mary out for supper. She helped get the Christmas boxes up to the attic. Bothers me that she puffs so after even a little exertion.
Entered updates on MCHS memberships and printed out three sets of labels- two for Margaret Cottrell for billing and one for January newsletter.

Wednesday, December 30, 1987
Finished a new application for statutory agent appointment for Huber Association and Willis and Wanda and I came out to pick it up to get John Watkins signature and get it in the mail. We really had a good visit- his discovery of the Marion Library in the 8th grade- played hooky for 3 weeks to read books. Was interested in Belgian Congo during Revolution there. They took me out to dinner at the Caledonia restaurant and discovered their daughter Sue graduated with Kathi and visited here with Stu Shank.
