Big day for Marion County Historical Society and me. MCHS really shone during awards presentation using slides of winners. Bill Nolan received an award from the board of Ohio Historical Society and I was elected president of OAHSM during business meeting. Later sat next to new president of AASLH who presented awards, Timeline included. Lots of congratulations and reception following meeting.

Spent 2 hours at Hemmerly’s with Kass and Pat planning new card and gift shop. Went over to Razor’s Edge to see the layout and were told to leave by Barr who is under a court order to move. My suggestion for a name “The Other Door” didn’t stand a chance against Pat’s “Paper Butterfly” and other nonsense. Decided on Hemmerly’s New Dimension. The whole thing is a bad idea but we can use the area for other than sales so I’m not voicing my doubts.
Piled bricks against the greenhouse.

To Center to get year book mailing out. To Hutchman’s for dinner and catch up talk. Good to be with them.

Temperature 80 sunny dock Robert S. Brown elected mayor of Marion.
Got 10 birthday cards.
Kathi and David and Bob Harter called. Mary Jordan took Mary and me to lunch and Jerry’s in Galion.

80° sunny weather so we opened Kathi’s gifts on deck when we came back. Got Barbara Gerson’s- Charlie King’s letters ready and Dave’s pine cone Christmas tree and took to Caledonia P.O. and voted. Then to Claridon Prairie to collect seeds. Mowed in woods from 3:30 to 5:15
Watched “Apocalypse Now” to see scenes in Philippines that I saw along the Ponyongyan River gruesome.
