Notes from Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Tuesday 1990 - [Philadelphia to Ohio] Decided to take train to airport ($4 vs $8 on bus) and senior citizens ride free, 30 minutes out there. Had lunch at Frisch's. Senior special small fish or burger $3.70 with soup, salad and fruit bar.

Sunday 1994 - [Maui, Hawaii] Went to church across from old court house, 95% visitors, then drove to Hana, 50+ one lane bridges + 600+ sharp curves, went on beyond to Lindbergh's burial place, a flat stone. Born in Michigan in 1902, died in Maui 1974. The site was covered with stone. Had supper at the Pain at the Corner [?] restaurant, a busy place. We had located a Safeway grocery near our motel which was handy.
Monday 1995 - [Kentucky to New Vienna] Jean has a nasty cold. Left Burnside about 8:30 and made a stop at Office Max to look at chairs for new office space. Had lunch at Boston Chicken. Got gas for 95.9c. Kroger's had old milk at 99c/gallon.
Tuesday 1996 - Went to Dayton for Edna Campbell lock box opening and inventory. Had lunch at King Cole, a 3-star Mobil rating, most entrees were $8.95. [According to this article in the Dayton Daily News, King Cole morphed into Olivia's and then in 2009 became Michael's Dining and Jazz.] Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary election with 28%, Dole 27%, Alexander 23% and Forbes 12%.
Thursday 1997 - [South Africa]
Friday 1998 - [Kentucky to Alabama] Left for Montgomery about 9:30 with Ken and Janelle Conn and Mary Virginia. He is an insurance adjuster and she is a High School teacher and sings in MV's choir.

HH adds: Re: 1998 - That trip to Montgomery was my first experience with a cell phone. The couple we went with loaned me one of their phones to use when the meeting was over and I flunked the test.
RE: 1999 - Rose Cooper is still writing for the WNJ.
