Wednesday 1990 - [Roberta visiting] Read in the WNJ where in the 1920s there were 25 school districts in Clinton County. I do recall when there were 13, and now there are four. [By contrast Maricopa County AZ (which is much bigger but still) has about 240 school districts, perhaps half of which are Charter Schools, and at least 10% are elementary school districts separate from the high schools. AZ is long overdue for educational reform/consolidation.] MV and Don came in from Canada via Michigan and brought us peaches and blueberries. Had turkey for supper. Hortons left for Indiana to visit Cris.
Thursday 1991 - John, Julie and her parents came down for the afternoon. Cathy from Washington State called us about calling Elderhostel and getting them to go forward with our Russian trip.
Saturday 1992 - Walked around downtown Wilmington, they are filming part of the movie "Yonkers", a lot of false front store fronts such as a bakery, Chinese laundry and about 20 1940s vintage cars including a street car. From Xenia we rode our bikes 8.5 miles to Yellow Springs and had a snack at Carol's near the PO where you pay by the ounce for what you put on your plate. Mother wouldn't eat much today. Cleaned out ditch in front of Wells.
Sunday 1993 - [Wendy visiting] Met Serena at Der Dutchman in Waynesville, lots of traffic on 73 near Flea Market. We were a half hour for the two miles. Then we went to the Ohio R.... [River?] Festival, had tickets for ½ price so $20 for the four of us. We were there from 3-6. One show was this fellow swallowing the sword and the 36" balloon - ugh. The mud show – how could anything be worse. Had ice cream at 73 & 42 in Waynesville.
Monday 1994 - [to Newark] Jean had therapy appointment in Wilmington, also Dr. appointment about her shoulder tendinitis. Had reservations at Cherry Valley Lodge, Room 139, facing inside, $85/night + $7 tax. Ended up eating with John and Julie, then they came out for a swim.
Tuesday 1995 - First day of school. Have several gdn [?] for school purposes. Picked a couple gladioli.
Thursday 1996 - Leadership Clinton meeting. Tobacco stocks are ꜛ and ꜜ.

Saturday 1998 - We went to Wilmington for Tom Young sale, all these toys, etc. Had lunch at Sangers [?]. We split an entree and soup. Virginia S. came in and got pie. Allan and Mark (he was painting a barn) [or bank? or something else?] were there also. Stayed at WPL until 4pm. Stopped at Walmart for new watch band, black.
Sunday 1999 - Shaffer Picnic. George asked us to bring pop, it looked like everyone brought pop, so there was plenty. Jean not feeling well so we came home at 3pm, hard to get her to eat anything.

Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Sunday 1989 - [Hawaii for ABA, invitation to President's Reception included: entertainment. music, dancing, and encounters with natives from Samoa, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Japan, China and the Philippines will be the highlights of the reception to be held on the grounds of the Sheraton Waikiki and the Royal Hawaiian Hotels.] Prayer breakfast ($20) at Hawaii State Capitol. Took walking tour of downtown Honolulu, then lunch at Marie Callender's.
Monday 1990 - [Chicago with GG and Annie for ABA] Parked on the street, $5 until 7pm. Had reservations at the Pump Room, $111 for the four of us. Very nice and plenty of ice cubes always being added. We were there two hours. Oh yes, the Pump Room has the world's smallest Hot Fudge Sundae, $1.49, in four little cups: nuts, ice cream, sauce and whipped cream.
Thursday 1992 - V.P. Quayle in Wilmington, flew in and then had three limos for the group. GHU is showing new pep.
Friday 1993 - [Ashland OR for Elderhostel: Last Call! A Week at the Theater] We got tickets on the ground for Anthony and Cleopatra, one was in the 2nd row, the other was the top row. A three hour play with one intermission.
Saturday 1994 - [Vevay IN to home] Picked up Joe at the airport, went to the hospital. Bill is really out of it. Did have lunch in coffee shop at 2pm. We left at 3:30 with MUH, Cindy, Laura (Cris's daughter) with us. Bill passed away at 7pm with the four children there. They got home about 10pm.
Sunday 1995 - [to Kentucky and back, Roberta visiting] We left about 7am with Bert and Aunt Mary. Oh the traffic at Mile 124, van turned over (4 fatalities with sheets over them). So got to Somerset at end of Church. Went to Crowsons for soup and salad, then the recital was at 3pm. Had to go back to Crowsons as Roberta left her billfold there. Then about Mile 145 more heavy traffic (another accident) so got over to US-25 at Corinth and got Mary to the airport for flight to Harrisburg with 10 minutes to spare. Snack at White Castle, $4.96 for the three of us.
Tuesday 1996 - [Essex, Montana for Family Reunion at Glacier National Park until 8/8/96] Another big breakfast. Serena talking of Cuckoo Clock we had – we have no memory. [I remember that clock! Seems like it was in the Recreation Room for awhile and then the dining room or vice-versa.] White water rafting [water was extremely cold].
Wednesday 1997 - [Amazon Camp Peru] Hiked through woods to a big kapok tree where the guide used a sling shot to put rope over a limb some 80' up, then a little rope to put your foot in. After supper had "Hayman" [Shaman?] who mixed up wild brew with fire water and scraping off some root and he blew cigarette smoke into it. Then he went around to each person and waved it around this dried plant leaf on to which he blew smoke. The dance after that was a good mixer.
Thursday 1998 - Busy day at the office. McKibbin lock box opening.
Friday 1999 - Doris Martin down with her Aunt's problems. Called up several people on Free Friday. Helen Kuntzman has been having her medical problems, MUH said she fell asleep watching TV and then was so stiff when she got up she could hardly walk. She's now using a cane.

[Eisenhower was a young Army officer in the 1919 Army Convoy along the then uncompleted Lincoln Highway, where the pavement ended in Illinois and bridges collapsed under the weight of the convoy.

Tuesday 1989 - [Kauai, Hawaii] Didn't sleep too well, we have room 12, in building F, nice living room with porch, 2 beds in separate room, bath and kitchen. Went for walk along water up to the Sheraton, buffet was $9.95, near us is Porky where buffet is $3.95 and looked about the same. Went for a swim and headed north about 10am, visiting the Kilauea Lighthouse (built 1913) and church built of volcanic stone. Drove around the big development at Princeville. Had lunch at Charo's near Haena Beach Park. Lots of beautiful green scenery, reminded me of pictures I have seen of the hills near Guilin China. Had ice cream at Lappert's, small cone is $1.75, nice library in Kapaa but no sign outside. Traffic is virtually a constant stream. Drove up to Opaekaa Falls and visited the market area. Had supper in our room, had bought a very good pineapple at 39¢/lb.
Wednesday 1990 - We walked down to Ralph's and got ice cream cones, 45¢ for the small size. Visited Ray Rayl on the way home. They built the house in 1982, came here because they thought NV was a friendly place. Got water bill, 417 cubic feet, base rate is $3.67 + usage $10.42, sewer $10 + $5.62, total $33.01.
