Disastrous breakfast. Some of the sausage was stale & I cooked the homemade syrup too long. Whole family worked cleaning up the woods. David cleaned ou the eaves & Jed emptied bag of leaves.
Mary out but didn’t stay long as she was getting a cold.

Good sessions all day. Nice to just attend & not have responsibility except to present award to Pat Cummins on her retirement as pres. Certificates also given to all those retiring from board. Me included after 10 yrs./
Got home about 5 – Haldemans came in about 10. Had been in Cols for Desert Storm Parade – walnut Hills Band Marched including Josh on trombone & Sarah on flute. They all went right to bed.

Gave Brammel check for his work on bathroom. He’s finishing up today.
To Cols for Annual Meeting of OAHSM – got hair cut & set after Brammel jump started my car. Overhead light was on. Got to Cols about 12:30. Radisson just down road from Engel’s Greenhouse. Several sessions with all participants together. Rooming with Barbara Shepherd & Mary Anne Peters . Fun people. My Silent Auction contributions of old magazines & framed Packard Auto ad brought in about $25., but no hits on silk arrangements & clown. Sat with Dr George Knapper, Jim Strider & JD Britton for Banquet & Knepper, Morgan & I received awards from AASLH & OAHSM – reaffirming one rec’d at Dearborn in August. Pam Bennett AASLH pres a very boring speaker & spoke for 1 hr 45 minbutes while we froze under the cold air return.
So glad to have Helen Kaufman & Eula Rhoades come down for the presentation.
Bill Nolan & I had a tete-a-tete & reminisced after the dinner.

Wrote letter to Jack Telfer about feeling against walls in lobby for Exe Committee to consider – then found he will be at meeting today! So just passed copies to Exec Com.

Bought sweatshirt & pants for Howard. Mine felt so good to sleep in last night. Got a cute moving-singing doll for Suzannah [sic] for C’mas. Back to HH to meet Lyle Patton to pick up his $600 check.
Home & wrote Bd Meeting Notice for Hemmerly’s next Monday & made copies to send to kathi & David. To Caledonia to vote for Fairground levity – and not much else.
Voted for Jake Reterrer for Twp. Trustee.. Lovely fall arrangement from Hemmerly’s for my birthday. Delivered while I was gone. Back in to Marion for MCHS Exec Committee meeting – uproar over Gary Somerlot not accepting Treasurer’s nomination. Norm says he promised Donna Ruth to not do it again.
