Temperature 91.
Took Dave to Caledonia at 9:15 to help with river clean up. Gone all day. Group under Dick Cooper picked up 40 bags of trash.

Neither computer working so spent time getting Courthouse material organized. Picked up both push lawn mowers about 8:00. Nothing wrong with either one. Guess Howard just didn’t want to mow. Fixed fried rice for dinner and then mowed front lawn. 3 Township trustees stopped on way home from dinner Boger, Lehner and Gruber. George Parkhurst of Hildreth association called from Massachusetts asking me to be speaker at Hildreth reunion August 4th.
