TV says 3″ snow in Marion but I’m seeing 6″ oni the deck railing. Snowed much of the day.
Studied outline program in WordStar & mastered basics in about 1/2 hr-but much more to learn but had enough know-how to outline first chapter for Marion Book.
Al Tozer called saying both John Rall & Karl Stewart will share their negatives if we come up with list of clients – that’s the way they are filed.
Jack Telfer called saying MCHS has been granted certification by OAHSM – told him to release news item enclosed with letter – Counterpoint to our fund raising publicity- showing we are “professional.”
Another call from McVay asking if I had found a copy of Marion Centennial for him.
Smithsonian Magazine arrived – Good article on computer virus detective – Gene research on DNA – delcine of migrating birds – Bubonic Plague in 1347. Great magazine.

Newsletter Huber – 1 hr.

Finally made a pillow from the comfort 7 got a little sleep – At bfst asked Sarah to go shopping with me. “Plans with friend.” Karen reminded her it wasn’t until afternoon. “Don’t have any money.” So much for my efforts to be friendly. So I left alone about 10 – Stopped at Kenwood Mall. Overwhelming, but found a white high necked blouse at Lazarus – Button too tight so alteration put a snap on for me $38 – marked downs from $54. Never paid that much for a blouse before. Took I-71 to Rt. 72 to I-70 at Springfield- N on state route 54 to 4 – Interesting geology- could see the moraines under the melting glacier after being in Alaska.

Stopped at Wendy’s for sandwich & frosty & at Willis Nye’s to pick up copy of Huber financial report that I left without making a copy for Newsletter. Home about 4:00 & entered info on computer – Felt lousy – always do after visiting 6404 – not one word to thank me for $1,750 toward kitchen. Had to ask what they got with Christmas money I gave them. Oh, well, I guess its the generation gap – but I have so much love to give that they don’t want. Thank goodness for David
