Back in the late 80s, I went to Stowe, Vermont to attend a professional conference. I did some sight seeing while there - it was summer. I came across a “Ski Resort” that was started by the Von Trapp family. I had seen the movie, but until that time, I didn’t know they landed in the U.S. and Vermont. A very interesting story, but not at all as the movie portrayed.

Remember, folks, she isn’t THAT Maria von Trapp. This is one of the children (whose names were changed for the play and film). RIP.
To: Borges
Maria may have been the last remaining child of the marriage between Georg Johannes von Trapp and his first wife, Agatha Whitehead von Trapp.
However, Captain Georg and postulant Maria had three children after marrying, and of these, at least Johannes von Trapp (born 1939) appears to be alive.

They should do a modern version of that movie: A family tries to escape the Marxist doctrines of a Kenyan tyrant.

Kind of a blessing, in a way...
If I heard “Doe, a deer, a female deer...” one more time I’d be ready to climb a clock tower somewhere with a bunch of water balloons full of coyote urine...
RIP, Maria.
