Picked Mary Jordan up & headed for Columbus. Did genealogy research at O.H.S. Library – mostly in county histories.
Found Benoni Hildreth listed as one of the first 19 families in Marietta in 1788.
Bought Vivitar 85-205 3.8 zoom lene at Chic’s Camer for $175. Prob. should have got the macro zoom at McAllisters for $200.
Got black skirt at Lazarus $17. Couldn’t believe change in downtown areas. Stopped at Bun’s for dinner.
Up to mother’s after taking Mary home. She finally had a MB but complained that she had been alone all day.
Pres. Reagan’s economic message to Congress delivered with speed & determination. “Most important since before FDR!”
