Gorgeous Harvest Moon last night. Lower driveway & stone wall looked like broad daylight.
Worked all day on my talk for Bob Stout’s
‘Symposium Club’ – ‘How Many Names are Enough’ – ‘Serendipity in Research’ – Request to talk result of my wanting my full name in my will. The talk explained why. Worked in the storiesof the Hildreth artifacts I bought yesterday from Harold Hildreth.
Only 10 men there & Bob kept apologizing.

Guy Denny called to see what was happening with OSUM on Terradise. Told him of Peg Hendricks call saying University didn’t want to accept it with the revisionary clause. Guy thinks they be bluffing – but at any rate advised me to contact state rep & senator as he felt the state had an interest in seeing that the property is saved. Talked it over with Bob during dinner.
Home about 10 – Charlton called about abstract he had prepared for a Union Co. Goff in the 1930’s – my mention of Goff & his attendance as a guest in serendipity for Del Goff. Turns out the abstract is for his grandparents.

.4 inch rain
Mailed stack of mail & cashed check in Caledonia & left Fall Fair posters. Stopped at Cord Camera on way to Ohio Historical Center for OAHSM Exec Comm. Say cost of repairing my Minolta Freedom camera would be $79. Looked at similar cameras from $129 to $179
My last Exec. Committee meeting (as past Pres of OAHSM). Will miss last board meeting while in Reno. J.D. Britton shows real signs of leadership. New program for Trish & regional rep to actually visit non-member Historical groups. Plans to get Local Historian to more local historians. Suggested a get together breakfast for all past board members on Sat AM at Annual Meeting. Suggested it might get some there that wouldn’t otherwise come.
To Marysville via Rt 33 – To Hildreth’s about 5:30 & Harold sitting middle of room (all dressed up in blue jacket) with the wooden shovel, the brass Hildreth School bell, Wm Hildreth III ‘bleeder’, 3 tin types, framed picture of David & Eliza Hildreth & 4 children & the saddle bag that Wm Hildrethr III rode from Knox Co. to Uniopn Co. with $800 in gold to buy the 500 acres. David called with invitation to JHed & Susannah’s birthday party. Enthused with big contracts interviewing another program.

Impatiens by drive frosted on top. Ruby red mums in full bloom.
Mowed & watered. Called Ralph Boger to tell him I have the last 2 of his pictures./ He came over & I asked if he could push the oak tree chips over the hill by lower drive. He brought his front loader & also smoothed out the dirt piled there. A job McCoy Landscaping didn’t finish. Will find a rock to mount my Terradise plaque on when soy beans are harvested.
Called Mary to go to supper but she had chicken dinner at noon in Prospect, so I finished the pimento loaf. Watered & trimmed.
Harold & Miriam Hildreth arrived unannounced. H will sell Hildreth treasures. Wanted $1,600. Settled for $1,250 & fell like a fool letting him take me.
