Called Marion Landscaping – if the crew finishes job today they quill be here tomorrow morning.
Researched City Directories for # of groceries in 1928, 1934 & 1942 – from 78 to 104 – so Depression didn’t close them. Wrote up my personal Depression experience for presentation tonight at library with Gale.
Lots of housekeeping jobs. – washed stuff to take to rummage sale & loaded in car.
Scott Spears here from 4 to 4:45 – taped segment for my open garden & also the stupid income tax skit he wrote – told me Madge Guthery evidently had a stroke after she wen to Marion Manor with a broken hip. Unable to speak until just recently.
Took him for a ride in golf cart. He was awed by the beaut y of Terradise.
Another supper of Carpenter leftovers including pickled eggs & beets.
To library by 7:00 – About 10 people in audience. Gale spoke for 30 minutes contrasting info in 1929 Marion Star with 1931-1936 demographics.
I took personal effects – no college – no corsages at prom – but Hemmerlys Flowers started with Daddy;s 50 glad bulbs.
