Saturday December 11th
Ralph Hedges finished by painting deacon’s bench from front porch and papering around former kitchen doorway. Managed to put in 4 hours doing it at $17 an hour! Total bill $1,050. To Heritage Hall. Took inventory of books in resource center and in rats nest above the gift shop. Filled with empty boxes!. But also 700 courthouse books and lots of [illegible] only 57 1979 histories left. Keith Koehler and Richard Carey helped me move boxes around to make count. Stopped at Lynn Lovells to choose frame for Blennerhassett print. Really exhausted. Copied 40 pages of Uncle Will Sheneman’s bicycle trip for Dave Decker.
