Worked at computer all day- minutes of board meeting- thank you letters to Larry Yoder- letters to Dean Hazard, Conrail and Jack Tozer “Save the Prairie!” to OSU at 6:30 to meet Rob Rupp- wanted to discuss with Norm and I getting MCHS to co-sponsor with OSUM a request for funding from Ohio Humanities Council for a video of Warren G Harding’s Marion years. Asked Norm and I to serve on planning committee. At meeting of membership Jerry Davis presented the abstract of lot 60- original plan of Marion and Leota Gates came up with a surprise from Gertrude Mack of Cardington- a composite of flags that flew over 60 South Main Street on July 4th 1876- Centennial of USA. Hal Boncutter and Ted Myers interested in Harding project.

Dave shopping in Mansfield with Walt and Olgua- they bought him two shirts- pretty far out.

Balanced checkbooks and checked investments. Still can’t decide whether to make an offer of $25,000 for the 50 acres across the road.

When Dave came home we went shopping at mall. Got him jeans and $40 sneakers- then he went into a pouting tizzy when I wouldn’t buy $28 grey jeans.
