Thank God – water pouring out of the faucets – Put more mulch on middle terrace begonias. Hauled weeds to compost pile. Came in hot! Nice bath. In at 12:00 for Committee Meeting on revising Collections management. John Hickson’s draft had merit – added other collections to the Harding one mentioned – Library. Hall of Fame, edward Huber. John wants Accessions Committee to de-accession without board ok. (He likes to throw duplicates & poor quality items in waste basket with impunity.) I called LHO (Brad) for advice and suggested a little party for Richard after Board Meeting. Will get back to me Monday.
Took Richard’s plaque material to trophies and More – closed! Cashed $100 check at Marion bank – $4,700 balance. Picked up airline tickets at Uniglobe & used their air conditioning for ½ hr while I studied Ventura. Waiting for Marys to pick me up to go to Al’s for dinner. To Dr. Ginns on way home to see his daylitlies. Said 1,060 varieties blooming – a sea of shades of orange & yellow. Impressive Home & to bed at 8:30 – Exhausted.
