Trella Hemmerly – 1987-05-03

Sunday, May 3, 1987
From last Sunday to today the trees have leafed out lilacs and viburnums are blooming. There was no chorus of bird song at daybreak that I remember from May mornings 20 years ago. Do we have Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring?

A rainy dripping day temperature about 50. Relaxed A.M. Read the Star and News Life preliminary interviews of mayoral candidates- I can’t vote for city offices but which would I choose? Dr Robert S Brown or Jerry Ballinger. Dr Mike Brown’s opponent doesn’t have a chance.

May 2, 1987 OAHSM Regional meeting Roscoe Village

With Mary to Coshocton for Region 5 meeting. Ffirst one Pat Cummins has attended- don’t know why Bill Nolan asked her to preside- after all she’s second vice president and I’m first vice president. Told Don Beckett- nominating committee- that I would accept presidency of OAHSM for next 2 years. Local History Office did not have evaluation forms or awards information available. Good talk on Ohio canals by Glick. Tour of Roscoe Village after meeting. Dogwoods gorgeous there and in Mount Vernon. Resumes of Tom Cooper and William Busta in mail for me to study before interviews next Wednesday at Ohio Historical Society for local history office job.
