Tuesday December 9th
Kathi called at nine (6 her time) to tell me they had a fire last night- wall around stove set in fireplace caught fire. Got it out but have a hole cut through the wall covered with visqueen. Smoke damage and ash all through house.
Took Judy and Kass to lunch to discuss replacement of Gary and tell them that I want to be out by this time next year. We all feel that Chris is too immature to do management. Asked Judy [Etter] if she and Greg would want to buy? I think they should manage a year or two like I did before daddy would sell to me.
Charlie Dunn in with projected probate cost if I should die now. About $135,000. I told him I was going to start spending it!
Had a talk with Terry about flying off the handle after complaint from volunteer at Community Med Center. Also asked him to shape up in appearance.
To Altrusa Christmas dinner. Allan Lust family sang- good.
