f McHenry Travelers Trip To Meet Lady Take Spring PAOfc 5 - PLAWUtrtLLK WtUlMiSUA*, 1V1A Y 21, 1975 (Mr. and Mrs. Guy Disney of 4408 Sussex drive, McHenry, have returned from an in­ teresting trip East and South. The following is Mrs. Disney's account of that trip).. "We were patiently waiting for Lady Spring ~ she was slow in coming so my husband and I, along with our son, went out to meet her. We started southeast, went through Youngstown, Ohio, and stopped at Leachfield, Pa., to take pictures of the forsythia in bright yellow. At Gettysburg, we toured the battlefields, historic markers, statues of the great generals and war heroes and, in the Cyclorama, we saw the famous battlefield of Gettysburg done on an oil painting. It was shown in light and sound and the presentation was very effective. There were 5,300 of our young men killed the first day of battle. On July* 1, 2 and 3, 1,863 were killed. This battle was one of the decisive battles of American history. "We stayed at the Gettysburg Inn that night and started out for Washington the next morning. We arrived in Alexandria, Va., where we were guests for three days at a lovely home of my husband's sister and husband, the Erwin Vollmers, formerly of Chicago. Their yard was filled with azaleas in full bloom and beautiful trees budded in orchid pink. The squirrels came to the door each morning for corn and peanuts, along with the red cardinals. The bluejays were robbing the food so we had to chase them away. "The Vollmers took us to the Arboretum to see the azaleas in .bloom and they were as large as trees and in every color. We then made a tour of the Washington National cathedral. It was started in 1907 and they are currently adding another addition. We heard the beautiful organ music as we wandered through the different areas. The altars were aglow with gold and jewels. "The next day, we went through the White House. While we were there, King Hussein of Jordan came in with a lot of fanfare and honor guards lining the driveway. We went through the dining room where King Hussein was to have his dinner. This was the State room. The most unusual crystal chan­ deliers hung in the reception lobby where gifts from Austria are incomparable for their prismatic glitter. "We then dropped our son off on Pennsylvania avenue, where he went sightseeing, planning to meet us later for our theater engagement at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Kennedy center was built with both private donations and funds from various organizations. Over 3,700 tons of marble, valued at $1,100,000 and a gift from Italy, was used in the construction of the building. There were glittering mirrors from Belgium and a great organ built by Aeolin Skinner. The opera house seats 2,200. "Some of the interesting highlights of the afternoon were tours of the Capitol building and of the historical and technological branch of the Smithsonian institute. At the institute, there were exhibits of Eastwood Manor Mary Ann Bellak 385-5705 Invite Objectors Attend Gravel Pit Hearings May 21 There will be another hearing for the proposed gravel pit on Chapel Hill road this Wed­ nesday, May 21, at 2 o'clock in the municipal building, right next to the police station.

Green St. McHenry fine china and crystal from nations all over the world. We were pleased to find our own pattern of Teuben goblets among the crystal collection. From here, we went to the Watergate complex where the Vollmers plan to retire in one of the condominiums. "Later, we went to the Eisenhower center theater for a performance of Noel Coward's comedy, "Present Laughter," starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Jane Alexander arid Ilka Chase. "The next day, we went to Annapolis, Md., where we toured the Naval academy and visited the tomb of our first naval hero, John Paul Jones. Jones was first buried in France in an iron clad coffin depressurized and preserved in alcohol. His body was exhumed 100 years later and brought here for burial. At this time, the authorities opened his casket to make sure he was in it and found that his corpse was perfectly preserved. "We then had lunch at the waterfront at Chesapeake Bay where we all had fish, Maryland crabcakes. On our way back, we drove past the John Lewis home and President Ford's ex-home a few blocks from the Vollmers' home in Alexandria. "That evening, we had an excellent Chinese dinner at Arlington, Va., at the Inn of the Seven Immortals. We then went to the Vollmers' home and viewed movies of their six weeks in Spain and also our son's pictures of his visit to Spain. "The following morning, we said goodbye to our host and headed south into confederate country. Our first stop was at a plantation named "Capitol Hill," which was very representative of many tobacco plantations in the area. This plantation was built and lived in by close friends of Thomas Jefferson, Dr. Thomas Walker, explorer of Kentucky and guardian of Jefferson. We took a tour of the great house, the slave quarters and the beautiful grounds. "We then headed for Charlottesville, where we had lunch at the historic Mickie Tavern Museum of the 1700's. It is a converted log cabin used over 200 years ago. People meet here and enjoy the food of yesteryear. Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin came here often. It is said that the first waltz in America was danced here. "A short distance from here is Thomas Jefferson's glorious" home, "Monticello", meaning "little mountain." The house is one of the classic examples of American architecture, a thrde-story building of thirty- five rooms. It was on a level plateau on top of a mountain 857 feet above sea level and was designed and furnished by Mr. Jefferson himself, taking forty years with changes to complete levelling the hilltop. Con­ struction began in 1768 and was completed in 1809. The gardens on the east and west lawns were neglected for many years, but were restored in 1940 according to Jefferson's original plan. There were drawings found in his papers showing the scheme he projected so they made them that way. Monticello told us more about the kind of man Jefferson was than any kind of book. "From here, we drove west into the B(lye Ridge mountains and took the mountain parkway south to Lexington, Va., where we stayed in a nice motel with a good dining place next store. "The next morning we continued on our way through more of the beautiful moun­ tains with all the Spring blossoms in full bloom -- magnolia trees, rhododen­ drons, azaleas, etc. "On the last leg of our trip, our destination for lunch was the famous Greenbrier resort at White Sulphur Springs, West Va. We had heard of this famous spa but none dreamt that it was such a pleasureful palace. The Green Brier is a white jewel box set down in the midst of eden, like gardens containing nameless treasures. During a guided tour, these treasures were pointed out and explained to us by a tour guide. The dining room, like the other beautifully draped rooms, was bedecked with fresh flowers everywhere. "We reluctantly tore our­ selves away, northward bound. As the miles flew past under our spinning wheels, we sadly watched springtime fade behind us. First the magnolia disappeared, then the dogwood and lastly the delicate red buds. The splendid orchid mountains became gentle hills and the gentle hills melted and became prairies and our winter-weary eyes rested once again waiting for our own midwestern springtime to open them once again."
