Mary out and 12:30 and we headed up Route 4 to Lorain to tour the frigate USS Oliver Hazard Perry FFG7. Lake area beautiful along Route 2. Had to wait nearly 2 hours among the 5,000 who toured the Perry from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. Saw only the two open decks and wheelhouse. Dinner at Vermilion at Elberta’s- Lake Erie perch delicious. Bought peaches and home via 395 [sic – proabably 598] into Galion. Surprisingly hilly. Home about 8:00. called on answering machine from Pete belt as light blue olds wagon with everything. wanted me to pay $7,600 plus my car. I offered $7,000 because I don’t want third seat.

Wrote to Dave and Kristi. Letter from Kathy with copy of Kristi’s last letter.

To Marion County Republican Women’s Club luncheon at noon to speak on Marion’s celebration of Bicentennial of Northwest Ordinance and U.S. Constitution.

To C&D Chevrolet & Olds in Mount Gilead to see Cutlass Cruiser that Pete Belt called me about. 6 cylinder- sure quieter and peppier than the 4 cylinder in my Ciera but no electric windows or seats and a demo so offered to look for one at same price $7,000 with my car.

Saw news report on frigate Perry at Lorain this week. Called Mary and we’ll go tomorrow.

Fertilized flower beds around house with dry 14-14-14 & hoed it in. Transplanted the intermediate Iris (purple) from front bank to base of stone wall west of greenhouse.
