Barbara Shepard of Troy is a great roommate- Room is $73 a night so glad to share the expense.

Sessions all day- Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums [OAHSM] long-range planning. Who should we serve? How? Etc.

Cocktail party at 5:30- the front desk gave Jim keys to rooms 215 and 217 so we went in and helped ourselves to dip- kabobs- crackers, etc, before we found it was for the Sohio party instead of the Ohio party!

Dinner at the lodge.

To Blennerhasset Island- finally met Linda and Herb Roush at the sternwheeler “Blennerhasset” for the trip over and met Ray Wick, historian for the Blennerhasset Park Board. All pleased to have there a descendant of a family who lived on the island before the Blennerhassets- Benoni and Phoebe Hurlbut and children John, Abigail, Mary and Benoni, Jr.

The reconstructed mansion is beautiful- three-story Georgian with two sets of Colonnades curving to “dependencies” (small houses.)

Got to Salt Fork Lodge after dark 6 mi from route 22! Seven of us guests of Bill Nolan for dinner there.
