9° – 27°
Sent 40th anniversary first installment to Jamie Steven at the Star – Responded favorably & asked for more – Also to send my good review on the new look for Star to the publisher.
Janis Seckel (Vera Mae & Alfred Smith’s daughter) here from 1:00 to 5:00 with her genealogy book that is a wonderful scrapbook of photos, clippings including a photo of 1933 graduates who attended Trinity Baptist Church – She thought it was graduates of Claridon High School. Fave her some Scioto Ordinance material since her family was displaced – 3 generations.
Had planned to go to Friends of Priaire Parks meeting with Mary Donaldson & Dick Cooper but weather forecast for 5 in. snow so I cancelled.
In the mail was the clipping from the Star from John Watkins – My first airplane flight with Doris Dudley & Jane Myers on TWA out of Marion to Boston. John had submitted it to the Star for the Monday night ‘Marion History’
Public TV – Migration of Butterflies & ‘Transportation’ of convicts to Australia 1789 & Mary Wade – 5 generations of descendants (300) when she died.
