Lee Crawford in to sell first American silks. Just back from a 53 day trip around the world. South America, tahini, Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Egypt and he wasn’t too impressed with any of it! He appreciates how much we have in Us and how cheap things are here.

Worked on ancestor sheets ready to send in for the Marion County genealogical Society book. Called Hazel Augustine to ask about first families of Ohio.

Peter and Sarah Zimmerman, John, Catherine and Samuel Baker, William II and William III, Ruth Mason, Elizabeth Stokely, Hildreth, Henry and Julie Sheneman, Thomas and question mark Bickel oh, and possibly William and Lucy Arnold Riley. David and Abigail Stokely, Benoni Hurlbut.

Howard help me move my bed so I could clean the windows and curtains behind it and put in the storm windows.
Got out the coins I have saved through the years and sorted them. Called Mary for her opinion on storing them and she and Kenny came out about 7. Evaluated Bob’s collection at about $250 without his foreign coins. I think I gave him $125 when he needed money to buy furniture. Kenny sold silver coins at 20 x face value last week for silver content.
