Irma Campbell died this a.m. Had worked with her in MCHS, Altrusa and Garden Forum. Cancer started in the arm last May.
Royce here to clean. repairman from Mohat’s here at 2:00 to fix ice maker in refrigerator and replace fuse in microwave.
Into Marion Historical Center at 4:00. Evers, Hickson, Neidhart, Telfer, George Brown there too. Too much hashing over “We might do this” or “if this happens this could happen”- finally I pinned them down to name heads of acquisition, feasibility and fundraising.
