2 hrs MCHS
Spent most of day sorting papers & organizing notebooks for MCHS. Updated Virginia Howard & Wayne Fowler to alert them to reluctant approval of Lobby plans by Ohio Historic Preservation Office.
In at 4:00 for shampoo, cut & blow dry. Met Mary at Turoff’s at 5:00 for sauerkraut & sausage supper. To Heritage hall about 6 & reformatted disks on SRC XT so I can use them here & there both.
Jack too affable before meeting but he really snowballed all his spending project thro & had Tom Wagner & Dick West primed to vote down any delay on walls & holes in the lobby. I protested, asking that gate be used for security & entry to Atrium thru Gift Shop. It was just as if I hadn’t said anything. No support from any of the Exec Committee or those I had talked to. I was stunned.
Jack (through West) asked for no strings on any expenditures up to $500 – Gary Sims moved he be allowed $6,000 a year – at least that sets a limit.
At close of meeting everyone cleared out immediately leaving me along in the room. Why should it take 78 hours for labor for electricians in women’s restroom? & why suddenly are the costs $10,000 instead of $6,000.
Couldn’t sleep – worked crossword puzzles and read.
