Friday, September 20, 1985
Registered at Red Roof Inn- $25 single- before going to Ohio Historical Society. Checked in with Julie at Local History Office. She had also purchased frames for the extra Awards and got a large one and had Dr. Gary Ness award letter matted. At 4:00 Carol Cunningham of Slate Run Farm arrived with news that her photographer that she had volunteered to take pictures of Award winners died last night. So Jean Suchonski [?] took a few.
Everyone very complimentary on the presentations and I got to meet about half of the awardees as they took places on front row. Herbert Roush and wife invited me to spend the night in the night 1789 house! and they would personally tour Blennerhasset Island with me. He is doing a documentary on the rebuilding of the mansion.
Cocktail party and dinner on the green at Ohio Village an anti-climax but Ohio Village singers delightful.
