leave for Reno

Thursday, May 21, 1987
Left here at 8:00 and took Northwest Ordinance book to OSU- Ted Myers. To Mary’s and loaded my two bags into her trunk. Dropped geraniums off at Marion Historical Center and off we went at about 9:00 headed for St Louis.
We took $1,000 from the rental account proceeds of 229 East Fairground so we’re enjoying this trip on mother and daddy.

In St Louis about 4:00 and stopped along the Mississippi near the arch. Ate at Riverboat Burger King. Couldn’t visit Botanical Garden because of a meeting. Knights Inn in West St. Louis.

Trying to get loose ends caught up.

Started packing about 4:00. Hope I get everything.
Set out the last of Petunias and Dusty Miller and part of the begonias. Asked Howard to plant the rest.

Called publication committee meeting before board meeting and told them of Steve White’s perfidy. John Hickson crucified me for paying for the books because of the price.
Charlie Evers nominated for president – another year of carrying the president.

Burroughs Club here
Huber committee meeting A.M. at courthouse. Confusion on role of Economic Development Committee in hiring consulting firm for Industrial Development named for Huber near airport.

Guests for Burroughs’ picnic arrived just as I got home. Rainy day so they had an excuse not to go out. But I gave them a letter saying this was my last hosting of their picnic after 32 years and too many new members- I don’t enjoy it.

Mary and I to Lima where I spoke to Allen County Genealogical Society on “Serendipity in Genealogy”- introduced by Don Baker- cousin. Gave my [sic] $35 check and seemed to enjoy my experiences- much head nodding in agreement.

Stopped at Zimmerman’s on way home and took them to Colonel Sanders Chicken House for dinner but Madge treated. She doesn’t speak to Gayle because Faye Irene left her share of the house to Madge’s daughter and not to her!

Should have gone to [OAHSM] Regional meeting in Medina but I was too snowed under getting things done so I can leave on trip Thursday.
