Lazy day. Took Howard to Reece’s to get chewing tobacco and drove a mile “block” to check out flooding not serious.
Got into sorting cassette tapes- looking for one Uncle Allen made of Harding era. Sorted MCHS meetings -trips- family- family history- Riegers- Uncle Allen.
Napped PM- slept so deeply hard to wake up.

Change clocks 1 hour ahead so I got up at 10:00 instead of 9:00.
Warming trend and sun by 3:00 p.m. Snow mostly melted all 10 in of it. Started sorting out all the papers generated by the book after lunch so dragged out and I took a nap. Dave called- sending money to deposit to cover his phone bill- had just talked to Amy Lovell! David called about 9:30 will be up Easter weekend.

Saturday, April 4, 1987 distribution of books at Center regional meeting at Greenville.

Woke to snowstorm and 40 mile an hour wind. To Reece’s for suet for birds and blowing snow and drifts bad. 30 minutes to drive to Marion. Moshers at Center to pre-autograph books. I took sandwiches for lunch. John Cottrell had cleared walks and when Norm came in he did Pleasant Street. About 50 braved the weather. Mary in at 4:00 and I took her to Teresa’s for spaghetti and Terry wouldn’t let us pay for dinner. Gave us orange torte for dessert and sent a pizza home with me! Blowing snow bad so called Charlie Evers and Rob Rob and decided to postpone tour until next Sunday.

Call from Charlie Evers saying Channel 10 TV will be up for Scioto Ordinance Plant tour Sunday. Call from Rob Rupp that Columbus Dispatch and OSU radio will also be here.
