Called Mary Jordan to wish happy birthday and tell her I had to work at Historical Center so could not go to Nancy’s picnic near Mount Gilead. Sent her silk arrangement in stoneware pitcher. To Center at 1:00. Took stones to build ledge at bottom side of steps to hold soil and water. Norm [Vogt] there and helped. He is so anxious to learn about Society. Went through desk and moved sales table to back room. Took Huber catalogs to basement. Exhausted. Brought McDonald hamburgers and french fries home for supper. Worked all evening sorting boxes of Courthouse book- Jim Thorpe and miscellaneous stuff. Cool rainy day but only 1/4″ rain 69° High.

Problem with monitor on Executive and the big one. David called saying he and Bob Rau will be up Wednesday about 5:00 for Genealogy Society program and stay over Thursday. Want to have all records entered for Cemetery by then. In town after school for Dave to apply for a job at Wolohan’s. Supper with Mary and Ken at Islay’s. Dale Hecker had heart attack and is in intensive care. Stopped at Carl Lehner’s and he gave me lima beans and squash and a 40 lb pumpkin to display at Center for popcorn parade. Bought headlamp and hard hat at Depot Sales and got application. 3 weeks allowance for Dave. Called Kathi- she’s concerned that with Don retiring he may have cut off allotments to Dave and Kris.

Mary and I to Columbus. She looked at Museum displays while I attended publication committee meeting of OAHSM. Decided to let new education employees edit newsletter starting next year. Mary and I had lunch at Mark Pi’s Chinese and then went to Alum Creek Nursing home to visit Floy Morris. She was so glad to see us. Took her out on lawn. Spent about 1 hour with her. Home about 5:00
