Sunday 1991 - Picked up our NZ friends [Hiestand Douds] at Joe Hiestand's at 10am, then we had lunch and drove them to the Columbus airport with several stops in WCH as he wanted to get pictures of some of the Dowds there.  [Linda Hiestand Dowds is the daughter of the NZ Joe Hiestand]  We made it with 10 minutes to spare.  They were going on to Zurich to visit her aunt [who died at age 101 in 2009].  We went on to see Thelma Holmes, visited the Hanby House [home of Benjamin Hanby (1833-1867), Ohio songwriter famous for "Darling Nelly Gray" and Christmas song "Up on the House Top," in Westerville and really had a personal tour.  Supper at McDonalds.
