Tornadoes in central Florida & Daytona Beach. Concerned for Roger Hemmerly in DB & Hackers in Winter Haven. Sent Betty Hacker her photos used in HemGen. Wrote Tommy & Bev telling them we would come to Tenn in April for Wildflower Pilgrimage – sent article about Tommy & Mistletoe that was in Wall Street Journal to Harters since their Christmas Card had mistletoe. Wrote to Bob Harter & sent draft of our letter to John Sawyer. Called Jack Telfer to get his input on it – he said forget 1912 speech & try to get Dr. Sawyer’s papers for about $3 to $4,000 with John taking part of value as a tax deduction. Talked to Hap Dowler – he said Marilynn Haruff of Nat’l City Trust not interested in Charitable Remainder Trust for less than 250,000! I only want to give Parks District $50,000 & Terradise – must be some way to set it up.
Rewrote the Code of Ethics that John Hickson wrote in 1989 – It’s a mess – will run it by Jane.
