John Briley called with excellent comments on OAHSM bylaws. To Reece’s for ground beef for spaghetti and a spice cake mix to make cake for David’s birthday. Cooked until 4:00 when the Haldemans arrived. David back to Marion to install new update for Boyd’s Funeral Home. Played RummyCube. Sam [Barkley] a nice normal boy- Josh and Jed have no attention span.
Sarah is withdrawn from rest of family and cannot take any criticism. Susie is talking and enunciating much better. Matched blocks by color and letters. Boys created an art gallery in the rec room that was very original.

Royce here to clean. She plans to leave Woody and is holding back house payment in order to have rent money where when she leaves.
Corrected Huber newsletter in mail from David at noon. Headed for MCH Center and Mary and Willis Nye met me there to fold and stamp after I ran them on the copy machine. Willis mailed them. Mary picked me up and home and with the Jordans went to the Leaf Restaurant by I-71- all had macaroni and cheese and it was hardly edible.

Harry Bard picked me up in his new Chevy 4 cylinder station wagon at 7:45 and we headed for Dan E. Yoder’s south of New Bedford in Coshocton County. He drove 55 on double Highway Route 30 but when we hit the curve on Route 60 he speeded up to 65!
Yoder’s driveway and yard a sea of mud in the drizzling rain. They got a 12 ft plank so I could get into the new workshop. He had the prototype carved model of the Huber HK on the table and we met David, his son who wants to do drawings of Huber machinery for a coloring book to market for Huber Museum. Traversed more mud to get to the house connected to a house trailer as yet I’m finished where we spread out the Huber pamphlets among the remains of breakfast. I wasn’t too impressed with David’s drawings- much like what Dave Decker does. Got stuck twice while trying to turn around to leave. had lunch in Charm and bought popcorn ‘tiny tender’ and cheese at Walnut Creek. Home by 4:00- interesting day, but this Yoder family looks Amish, but their home was not what I expected. David showed us his butterfly and moth collection mounted in a 3-foot by 4 ft glass box.

Left for Columbus about 9:30 and went through Mount Gilead down Route 61 to I-71 was 4 miles farther but still took just an hour. Nice to have a change of scenery. Checked in at Local History Office and then went to library to check out Edward Milan Taylor for John C. Schroeter. He wanted to know if he was President Harding’s military aid. Not listed in index of Harding papers.
John Briley, Pat Cummins and Bill Nolan at executive board meeting and the whole local history staff which Bill resented. Recommended Articles of Incorporation and bylaws to Board of Trustees but with provision that Board of Trustees elect officers instead of membership which I question as a good move. Pat Cummins presented my version of the recognition program which is back to being called certification! Set up a timetable for implementation.
