Dave left at 7:00 for Sierra Club canoe trip on Little Miami. Back about 11:00 p.m.

I wrote letters to Doc Brown- County Commissioner asking that things left from Courthouse Centennial be given to Historical Society.

Made labels for Ellen Pratt to use for board meeting August 20th.

In at 5:00 to meet Mary and Ken for dinner at Perkins. Then out to Ray Foertsch’s of LaRue with my plans for South and East decks. He made out bills of lumber for me. Walked back to where city is digging pond for him using dirt to cover landfill.

Kathi and Bob called- real excitement. Bob did a parachute jump from 4,000 ft. 5 minute descent.

Royce here to clean but everything in a mess- did clean rec room some. Rainy so no work on deck.

Dave and I in at 3:00 so he could go to Navy recruiters. I went to the shop for 2 hours. May’s report showed a profit of $7,000- first this year we’ve been out of the red. But Kass has put $6,400 in the Cardinal fund- how do you explain that?

Dave and I to Sister’s Chicken for supper. He has decided to enlist in Navy. Will try for their nuclear program. He says Kathi and Bob, Aunty and David all think it is the best thing for him to do. But they haven’t invested 4 years in him as I have.

Woke to pounding of hammer and by 3:30 floor was laid and railings up on deck under beech! Real progress. But they had to pour new footing for pergola. Even after I told Ray it was crooked they poured one 4 ft. from house instead of 5!

Mary and Ken out at 2:30 to “supervise”- left at 3:30 for Columbus. To Chick’s Camera Shop and I bought a Nikon FA- all over metering gives good pictures in dappled shade but I will have to have my lenses modified $20 each. Also got a Vivitar dedicated flash. total $450.

Supper at MCL Cafeteria near Eastland then back Broad Street to Franklin Conservatory but it closed at 4:00. Stopped at Whitehall Library and copied Hemmerly’s from directories. To airport at 9:00- 10:05 plane with Dave didn’t arrive until 11:30. Stopped at halfway house for a snack and home at 2:00 a.m.
