She has job with church publications and the D.S. has told them about an interview comping up.
Saturday 1991 - Roberta has been going over around 7:30 to see GHU, breakfast is one of her better meals. Jean and Serena went with Charlotte Hause to Easter Egg Hunt at CCMH, sponsored by the New Vienna Twig, a close schedule as we had reservations at Murphin Ridge at 1pm, nice magazines in their lobby. Then to West Union where we visited the Public Library. Also stopped at the Amish Bakery, got some delicious bread and a small pie, of which GHU ate some. Also a visit to Peebles Public Library. Serena has a great memory -- bringing up our visit to 4 States Monument [? Serena, you'll have to explain this to me.]

Friday 1996 - Went to Wilmington, looked at computer tables and got light bulb for refrigerator. Met with Lacy's daughter and what a mess, he even sued his daughter and divorced his wife just before death.

Surprised to see Bob and Audrey Terrell at Murphin Ridge. The Crossets [?] are celebrating a reunion at the Cloister in 7/98.

from Dad: Catherine, that four states item was that Serena was not motivated to get out of the car to see the place. Actually not that there is much to see, just a plaque (as I recall) that is the point where the four states come together. John had a similar reaction on our first family visit (1962) at the Grand Canyon.
