trip to Florida
42 Marion at 9:00 AM
57 Lenoir City, Tennessee 5:30 PM
Up at 7:30 but took until 9:00 to be ready to leave for Mary’s – Howard says he can’t stand to see me leave so he retired to his lair* after breakfast.
In Cinci at 12:15 – off at Gilbert Ave to Greyhound Bus Station & David met us in parking lot. To a Skyline Chili Place for 3-way – which is cheese & spaghetti with chili filling. On to I75 at 1:15 – temp about 50 & uneventful drive to Lenoir City, TN – Kings Motel $32 – News full of truce negotiations with SH of Iraq. He agrees to withdraw from Kuwait – but some contestion [sic] points.

The I75 road as you enter Tenn is a marvel – follows at ridge with deep valleys where small towns are barely visible. Lovely tday to drive.
Supper at Country Kithcen across the 4 lane highways into Lenoir City.
Lunch for 3 – $12 – Dinner $5.75 Motel $32
