Notes from Dad's Diary 1989-1999
Friday 1989 - [Peoria IL] Lions Club Pancake Supper at ECHS @$2.50/each. Serena didn't feel like doing much, very little appetite. We ate at Ponderosa.
Saturday 1990 - Lions Club Pork Chop Dinner, $4 and $2.50. I was in charge of publicity and ticket committee. Mary, Bill and I went to see GHU. While we were there Vivian (79) and Mugs (85) came to visit also. We ate at the Hickory House [near Hillsboro? only ones I found were near Columbus], liver and onions $5.15.
Monday 1992 - Clinton County Lincoln Day Dinner @$15. We took the Jacque Laymons and HQ Thornburg, about 400 present. Mike DeWine spoke, they are expecting their 8th child, oldest is 23.

Thursday 1994 - Dinner and dance for square dance group, catered by McCoys, $10/each. Still very icy out.
Friday 1995 - Article in NYT about Berkshire Hathaway, whose stock is now selling for $24,500 a share (30 years ago it was selling at less than $20/share. As of 2/10/2011 - one share selling at $125,830.00 according to Google Finance.) Closing comment was that Buffett's book @$24.95 was a better buy than the stock.
