Trella Hemmerly – 1988-08-23

Tuesday, August 23, 1988
1 inch rain slow and easy all morning
Call from Doris that Mick Wallace died on August 15th- leukemia.
In at 9:30 for called board meeting of MCHS. 12 board members and three acquisition committee members there. Voted unanimously to make an offer for post office to real estate division of US Postal Service. Even Charlton Myers- then he pledged $500 toward down payment. George Brown pledged $5,000 and with my thousand the total was almost $9,000. Fantastic! Spent rest of the day at Center working on newsletter. Margaret Cottrell helped. Called Mary in too and when Norm Fogt stopped by used him also. Got to new post office where driveway was flooded at 4:50. Supper with Mary at Rax. Shopped at Big Bear and home exhausted.
