Thursday, February 21, 1991
trip to Florida
42 Marion at 9:00 AM
57 Lenoir City, Tennessee 5:30 PM
Up at 7:30 but took until 9:00 to be ready to leave for Mary’s – Howard says he can’t stand to see me leave so he retired to his lair* after breakfast.
In Cinci at 12:15 – off at Gilbert Ave to Greyhound Bus Station & David met us in parking lot. To a Skyline Chili Place for 3-way – which is cheese & spaghetti with chili filling. On to I75 at 1:15 – temp about 50 & uneventful drive to Lenoir City, TN – Kings Motel $32 – News full of truce negotiations with SH of Iraq. He agrees to withdraw from Kuwait – but some contestion [sic] points.

The I75 road as you enter Tenn is a marvel – follows at ridge with deep valleys where small towns are barely visible. Lovely tday to drive.
Supper at Country Kithcen across the 4 lane highways into Lenoir City.
Lunch for 3 – $12 – Dinner $5.75 Motel $32

30/45 Huber 2 hrs
Useless fact – Less that 5% of paperwork filed in any office are ever seen by human eyes again.
Royce here – Made out itinerary. Wrote up Huber minutes & made copies for Willis Bye and Harry Mauk. In to Marion to do errands – mailed books (Edward Abbey to Kathi) (Tecumseh to Dave) & stack of mail at Caledonia & got stamps – 29 cents is such a nuisance. Took car full of trash to Hemmerly’s including bathroom shag rug. Ledft my Income tax at Holbrook – Lost envelope with Hemmerly’s checks (and found it & mailed to bank).
Hope it is at P.O. Cashed check at Bank – to Nickles’ Bakery out of Howard’s favorite Stoneground bread. Got bananas at Big Banana – Left Bicentennial calendars off at School Administration building. Teachers seemd delighted. Picked up chili at Wendy’s, bread at Krogers – took minutes & treas report to Anna May Schwaderer – took minutes to Willis Nye & article for Carey Newpaper that he asked for & Gift & Loan forms & Collection management Policy for EHMA. Stopped at Martha Neville’s with itinerary – having duct problems with her pancreas.
Called David & will meet him tomorrow bnoon at Greyhound Bus Station. Had call from Rosalie Adams so corrected announcement for Reg II – Left camera ready copies on table with disc. Finished packing about 11:45.
