Geez, I lived in McLean back in ‘59. Yikes. Now I’m really dating myself. Just as an aside, we did a field trip to Lake Cacapon (sp) in the back of flat bed semis with side rails and hay bails. Think that could ever happen today? LOL! No problems except for the M-80’s in the lake. :>)
I got there in about '65. 7th grade. Aw, crap, that was 50 years ago! Not long after the Civil War - remember the Battle of Bull Run! It was a great place back in the 60's and early 70's. Now I don't want to get any closer than Fredericksburg or Warrenton.
