Email from Dave Matyak citing -5 to -10 wind chill for not coming to plow me out. Suggested I call MCHS & find out who does it at Heritage Hall – Found it is Knickles so called them & by 3:00 my driveways were clear but I had to shovel from the porch to the drive & from the road 3 ft. to the mail & Star boxes.
Wrote news release for ‘Schools’ & sent to Gale, Willis & David for corrections.
While sorting papers in grey storage boxes found a letter from Forrest Sheneman to Ray & Iva Hemmerly – 4/25/1945. Joe a Major in the 66th guarding 200,000 Germans in a pocket & Eddy flying 45 missions along the Burma Road.
Made a Word file & sent to Mary Grey Ham who had sent me word of Eddy’s death after Christmas.
Continuing bad news on plant closings & job loss. Pres Obama signs first law – Banning lower pay for women for the same job men do.
