Mary out with video of last night’s newscast. Showed the four destroyers steaming in a line with the burning platforms- 1,000 rounds of ammunition fired. We wonder if Dave was involved and how.

Kass called- she wants to rent the barbershop area- they haven’t paid rent for a year if they can be evicted by November 1st would be a card shop and novelties. All the things I never could sell. But I didn’t discourage her.

Roy finished patio. $210 including the yard work last Friday.

To Columbus for OAHSM board meeting. Met Bill and Chris at 9:15 to go over my committee suggestions.
On way home all radio newscasts telling of stock market crash- over 500 points drop on Monday- 22% of the value of the market.

At home the headline in the Star was about U.S. warship attack on a military platform in the Persian Gulf later in the article they mentioned they named them and the Hoel* was one of them. I called Kathi and she hadn’t heard.
Ray Foertsch worked on laying brick for patio.

[*Dave Decker was deployed on the Hoel]

Mary and I had wonderful day driving to Marietta and Blennerhasset Island. Trees in full color, especially at Dawes Arboretum- they truly glowed with autumn light.
Took ferry from Parkersburg at 12:00. Pavilion for picnic built since 1985 spoils the view of the Mansion as the ferry approaches. The kitchen is now furnished- have nine items that were Blennerhasset’s.
Visited Campus Martius Museum in Marietta. John Briley did the Rufus Putnam house tour. Home about 8:30.
