Marilyn Schnipple came over at 10:30 with a flat of yellow gazanias. She planted a row along the new flower bed along the lower driveway- left at 11:45.
Call from Gary Iams asking about my endowment fund given to OSU Marion. I invited him to Terradise for talk. Told him it was $5,000 given for support of the Marion Campus Prairie planted by Larry Yoder’s botany classes. Showed him some of my files and told him I showed Larry his first visit to Claridon Prairie. Told him I will write my recollections and send them to him. He drove me to Terradise Nature Preserve to see clean up of Hackberry logs that Dick Cooper told me he had finished Saturday.
Don Keil stopped with beets from his garden. Fixed supper for Gale and had a catch up gab. Told her about Ron Boyland’s presentation on Battle of Perrysburg October 1862 and the 121st OVI involvement. She agreed a program by him would be okay.
I identified Button Bush that I saw yesterday at Green Camp prairie.
Susannah called and said she would be late as she was going to birthday party for Vaughn Wiester.
