Called Mary Merchant since we didn’t properly say goodbye last night. Got lost in the crowd of 300. Invited her & Kaye to Terradise & they were here from about 11:15 to 12:45. Gave them the golf cart tour – Maary loved the peacefulness along the river. Asked about the wedding held here – Kathi’s reception when she married Don Decker & her first marriagte to Bob Sands. Also told he of Margaret Ann Romine’s son Darin’s wedding there. She hadn’t heard of Marcella Haldeman’s death. Tricia married Mary Merchant Gruber’s cousin. Got into Kathi’s problems with Bob Sands family – Steve tragedy – sitll in nbursing home in Conn. after 30 years.
Call from John Jarvis of Marion Star on the 230 Blaine Ave Apt building that is being razed after a recent fire – Found it was a hospital for only about 2 yrs.
Mowed upper lawns & down to river 5:00 to 5:45. Leftovers from last night for supper.
