Dearest Catherine, Gerry & Wendy,
I am writing this in the car as we go to Columbus -- rather Newark to have lunch with Julie & John & then take Roberta to the airport.
We had supper last night with Serena -- meeting her in Yellow Springs. We were disappointed in that the stores there -- all closed at 6:00 PM (when we were to meet her) but we got there a little after 5:00 so we had a chance to see them. They are having a street fair today which would have been nice to visit but guess the parking is bad for Main Street is all blocked off. Upstairs is a real nice Children's book store. They have quite a selection of autographed books -- talked to them about Virginia Hamilton & Arnold Adoff who live in Yellow Springs -- she (bookstore owner) raved about them & their new books. She was showing us a new wordless Christmas book by ?? can't remember the illustrator but she couldn't wait to share it w/her 3-yr-old grandson.
Don't forget to keep June in mind for next year for the three celebrations. 1) G'ma's 100th -- June 22; 2) Horton's 50th (June 24) & Joe's Birthday (June 25); 3) Your 25th from ECHS -- will let you know the definite date as soon as we hear.
What do you think about Don & Mary Virginia's news? She called us from her church yesterday morning. They were to have elaborate tests done in a couple of weeks to help them.

Grandma continues to improve, now up to 101#, a 10# gain for her and is much more talkative and definite opinions.
The Hortons were planning to leave next Tuesday for LW, but have now postponed to Wed. because of the "Senate Hearing" [Clarence Thomas confirmation] It's really amazing the government runs as well as it does.
[Back to Jean]
Dad just got the magazine "Your Company" today -- I think the 1st since the one you saw when you were home. "Summer 91" is almost over, I'd say.
We're anxious to hear Wendy play the keyboard (and her mother too) and haven't forgotten our promise to pay toward the lessons -- as I recall we had some stipulations and haven't heard if they are being met. We do want to do our part as promised. How about it Wendy? You & G'dad will have to have a recital and maybe play a duet. And you and your Mother.
We're almost on the turnoff for Newark -- so will close for now. Thanks for your letter, Catherine & your note Wendy.
