Emailed James Steven at Marion Star about Charlie McCarthy & Scioto Ordinance Plant. Email from Jan Kennedy that Gale took the group to the Trella Romine prairie also on Sunday. Kathi & I picked up Jim Carpenter at 23:30 & he drove to Port Columbus. Helped Kathi check-in & find a wheel chair.
To Ohio Historical Center by 4:10 & met with Jim Strider and Barbara Powers – the one in charge of Preservation projects. At this point all needed was the Ohio application which I had – after her office decides that Houghton Sulky is ‘worthy’ (or not) they will notify me & provide material to apply for National Register status.
Port Columbus upgrading underway. New overpasses, more parking. Then along Morris [sic – Morse] Road east to Hartman Collectible Cards. Jim purchased lots. Then onto outerbelt to Rt. 23 N. Ate at Frisch’s Big Boy. Good food & service – $12 for both of us including pumpkin pie.
Took Jim home & I was home by 7:00.
