Met Bill Nolan at L&K and took him to Harding Motor Lodge for lunch. Then the $2 tour of Marion- Marion Historical Center, Harding home, Hemmerly’s Flowers and Terradise. He said he had planned to swing by to see where I lived so was glad I brought him out. The water in my river flows by his farm in Ross county. Took him back in time to go to Mass at 4:30 before his Polled Hereford meeting at 6:30. He seemed to really impressed with Marion.

Royce here to clean and we had the usual hassle getting the storm windows in. Got the rec room back in shape pretty well. decided to use the old draperies rather than pay $100 for new ones.

Called Dave before Kathi had called him but they talked to him out of the Dodge Charger. He wants me to find him a car and drive up and get him November 22nd! He can’t legally have one on base yet.

Ralph Hedges finished ceiling and started painting. The cameo white makes the room so much cheerier than the pale blue that had been on there for 20 years.

I fix Howard instant oatmeal, orange juice and ready-made pudding for breakfast every morning. He drinks anything in the refrigerator: milk, orange juice, cider, and he got into the wine cooler I brought from California.

Ralph Hedges here at 8:30 and I went with him to Wolohan’s to get the right kind of ceiling tile tile. He got most of it on- Dave helped take old staples out for about 20 minutes. That’s all I got out of the two hours he promised me. Then he left to spend day at school and was not backed by 5:30 when I left to meet Mary at the shop to take him to Columbus and Oleta showed up about 6:15. We ate at MCL Cafeteria and he left on the 8:40 United flight for Chicago.

Paid bills. Invested $1,500 in Boston Money Fund. Edited and printed September 14th of trip journal. Kathi called with address to order video of Dave’s Pass in Review and Drill Company. Also told me to butt out- Dave coming home to see Oleta and not to expect him here.

Went to Leaf Restaurant east of Mount Gilead with Jordans. Mary Hecker settled Mary Jordan’s question on pillars on Morrow County Courthouse by stopping at Courthouse library.

Oleta called that they were going to airport earlier and would I meet with her. I told her I wouldn’t be there and asked Dave to call me to when he got to her house. He didn’t by 12:50.
