Worked most of day getting the three mailings finished. One was postcard invites to November 2nd premiere involved calling all County High Schools for their social studies teachers. Then to Center to get more envelopes then to Hemmerly’s to cancel 125 first class letters containing tour notice.

Karen and kids arrived about 10:00 giving me time to pick up the house a little. Kids all slept in living room- Karen in Dave’s room.

Did rewrite of column on memories and when Mary dropped by she took it into the Star. Got materials ready for board meeting. Hal Boncutter asked me to preside until he could get there about 7:45. Took Mildred Selanders home

Monday, October 20, 1986 low temperature 33°, but geraniums, Dahlia’s and impatiens not frosted.
Wrote my Day Before Yesterday column on the satisfaction of memories but not polished enough to take the Star before I head to leave for committee meeting with Clara Gillen and Mildred Selanders to finalize the copy for the brochure about the Marion Historical Center.

Bill Nolan called to say he enjoyed Saturday in Marion and update me on the rest of his stay in the area.
Also met Joan Radwin at the Center to give her info on Marion schools. Made copy of Dr. Lewis death September 3rd 1929 for Mary Casad in San Diego.

Mary and I left about 10:15 headed for Hocking Hills to meet David and family at Rock House. Stopped in Lancaster for Kentucky Fried Chicken and coleslaw to take for picnic lunch. They got there about 1:00 -15 minutes after we did. Kids had never been there and love climbing around. Also went to Old Man’s Cave. Mary and I headed home at 4:30 so she could go to church to see the Ginn’s slides on Peru.

Met Bill Nolan at L&K and took him to Harding Motor Lodge for lunch. Then the $2 tour of Marion- Marion Historical Center, Harding home, Hemmerly’s Flowers and Terradise. He said he had planned to swing by to see where I lived so was glad I brought him out. The water in my river flows by his farm in Ross county. Took him back in time to go to Mass at 4:30 before his Polled Hereford meeting at 6:30. He seemed to really impressed with Marion.

Royce here to clean and we had the usual hassle getting the storm windows in. Got the rec room back in shape pretty well. decided to use the old draperies rather than pay $100 for new ones.

Called Dave before Kathi had called him but they talked to him out of the Dodge Charger. He wants me to find him a car and drive up and get him November 22nd! He can’t legally have one on base yet.
