Saturday, October 8, 1988
Finished printing the 50 thank you letters for Fall Fair. Wrote Helen and Charlie my feelings about planning for next year. Called Ruth Bosner about history of OAHSM. She will compile president’s names by November 15th.
Took Howard to Reece’s to shop and took trophy to Irene Houser that she won by default at Fall Fair. Howard didn’t recognize her. She gave us cantaloupe she raised. Good.
Mary and I to Whetstone Country Club for dinner- pork roast delicious. Saw log cabin under barn siding.

With Royce washed windows and put in storm windows except the one over the sink- it is just too hard to do.
