The Leesburg UMW had given Jean a gift certificate for $20 for speaking at their church. The Hortons came up and we watched their anniversary video for 1¾ hours, very interesting. The Jenkins plan to retire to the Jackson area.

Sunday 1998 - [Mohican State Park to home] Left about noon, went back to Malabar to get a video, to Mansfield where John and Julie are "thinking" about John's taking a job at the PNB there. We had a picnic in the park in Lexington OH. In Newark they had torn down the building where the new library will be. Coming home we ended up at Taco Bell as service was very inefficient at Wendy's/Tim Horton's. Honda turned 55,000 miles.
Monday 1999 - [Newark to home] Visited John at the bank. The bank had their annual picnic at Cedar Point yesterday and a breakfast tomorrow at 7am. They can go informal for a week on their wardrobe. Finally got to Lithopolis, the restaurant is closed, not much left in town except for the very nice library. Ate at the Roundtown on North Court St. in Circleville. The coleslaw was 120% mayo. Went to the library there, same old building. They are building a new library in Ashville. In WCH library got looking up Hiestands who came from Botetourt County in Virginia in 1804. Librarian is Duane Powells ex-wife. Ate at Memories [?] a year ago was a former downtown drugstore.
