Kass called to tell me that Faith Evanoski found that the payroll program had to be altered to change the percentage of Social Security withheld. Change made with November 1st payroll which was when Norma told us she was resigning. Kass also found that tax reports for unemployment and workman’s comp and not been filed. How can Norma live with herself!? This is deliberate sabotage against her employer.

Was at Chamber of Commerce about noon when I heard that space shuttle Challenger had blown up 2 minutes after launch. Christa McAuliffe teacher and civilian among seven killed. Everyone’s stunned. After 55 manned missions! Dave called from school to share his reaction. Glued to TV when he came home for any news and demonstrated me sequence of explosion with his model of shuttle and boosters.

Teeth cleaned at 10:00 first visit to Dr. M. Cloran who has taken Dr. Vornholt’s practice. My dentist since 1955.

Cold! but roads not too bad for trip to Columbus for OAHSM board meeting- 18 members made it but not Bill Nolan. Steve White presided nicely- asked him for estimate on Mosher’s Scioto Ordinance Plant book.
Came home directly after meeting. Stopped in Delaware for 1819 land records before Marion County organized. Found little except Eber Baker’s 2 purchases- Kilborne and Holmes.
