Daniel Salceda (11), Jeremy Gilpin (12) & Tristan Holloway (12) of Caledonia Boy Scout Troop 86* dropped off by Mrs. Gilpen to help at Terradise. I drove tractor pulling red card & pointed for pickup – Filled 5 times & now Terradise is acceptable for visitors and for the spring wildflowers. Daniel about 3’ high was amazing – saw things to do that I hadn’t suggested. Tristan also good worker but Jeremy mostly carried the rak that he used to rake chestnut burs in a heap.
They also cleaned under the white pine branches & cones to pile across rd. Had sodas & strawberries for them in gazebo. Picked up about 12 – gave the boys free tickets to HH & Troop 86* a check for $50 – Mrs. Gilpin said call her for more help.
Night at Heritage Hall
Napped and checked email – to HH about 6:30 & things already buzzing – Gale prepared the booklet – Great job & I had presenters & the crew sign autographs. Got acquainted with Doug SMith as Philip Malo & Malone as Pres. McKinley. Both descended from who hey portrayed. Valenda Mackay finished getting autographs in my program book- helped me to car.
