Trella Hemmerly – 1986-08-02

Saturday, August 2, 1986
Mary and Bev spent day together. Home at 7:30 Bev told me of her [illegible]

A day of triumphs- Prairie Conference huge success about 125 people from all parts of Ohio- Really had nice comments on my paper and one man said he had never seen such an ovation given a speaker at any conference. Charlie King says it should be published!

Egged on by Mr. Terwilliger of Cincinnati I gave Ted Myers check for $1,000 to start endowment fund for campus prairie. Charlie King, Larry Yoder and Ralph Ramey ecstatic. Claridon Prairie brochure delivered at 11:15. Visited these prairies: Marion Campus, Claridon, Daughmer, planted and natural at Killdeer.

Called David they got home at 6:30 a.m. drove from western Nebraska.
