OAHSM 7 ½ hrs
100 miles
Left at 9 for Cols & at Ashley tried to cross country to Rt. 36 & I-17 – But ran into a blocked road so ended up losing about 10 minutes instead of gaining 5. Board meeting of the Ohio Newspaper Project with interesting reports of experiences & hunting down collections of newspapers. They have covered all of Ohio except Franklin Co. & are applying for a grant to microfilm those not already filmed. Asked about value of indexing newspapers & was encouraged to do it. State Library librarian offered to send info & the program used by Cols Metro Library. Showed us the microfilm process. 4 people handle it. Stopped at Local History Office & Preservation Office. Martha Raymond who took Judith Kitchen’s place not in so couldn’t talk about Jack t’s plan for walls in HH Lobby.
To Arvey’s & got paper & envelopes for mailing brick certificates – pens for me. Home about 4:30 & found the short cut from Rt. 36 to Rt. 42.
Call from Rob Rupp – He’s sending application for his grant for me to sign & return for more info on writing program to print Brick certificate.
