David in to LK Convention Center to set up at 8:00 and I got there about 8:45. McKinley Room- nice size six tables set up for people and three for display. Don Wells, salesman from Newark came but not one funeral director. David couldn’t help but be disappointed but he didn’t show it. He and Don and I worked all day on improving TerraForms. I was the “stupid user” and did a did find a bug or two. He left Marion at 4:00 to play a job with Burt Farber’s band in Cincinnati. Mary and I wrote Christmas cards with our pictures.

Got chapter 11 of part 1 SOP done an “oleo” of all the stories that didn’t fit elsewhere.
David in about 7:00 p.m. from a day with a client. Had stopped at shop and loaded their Epson to use tomorrow at the seminar. I had called about 20 of the 150 funeral directors that he had sent invitations to- not much response.
