Wednesday 1994 - Went up to Roland Gr....i's residence and helped in a small way, divided up all the contents among the six children. Jean called Laura Hughes, she is despondent. Called the Harners, O.D. is still not up to par, he is building frames for pictures of the celebration of the Fairview 125th anniversary. Storm – two of our CPU's went out.
Thursday 1995 - Jean's purse was stolen in Wilmington. Picked apples across the street and Jean made apple sauce. Ray King (our minister) was here for lunch. Still HOT. Article in WSJ about a fancy Mobil [now Shell] gas station in [Stafford VA which was inspired by Wright's Falling Water] Mill Run [House ] 30 miles south of Washington on I-95. Also a "Wright" gas station in Cloquet NM [only gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright].
