Final Day of Preparations

We had a busy day as we made our final preparations for the arrival of the Hite (Chrisman, Bowman) Family tomorrow. I spent several hours this morning meeting with the Sons of the American Revolution as they walked through Saturday's monument dedication and wreath-laying ceremony for Issac Hite, Jr., "an American Patriot". It will be very impressive.

Our 15 minutes of fame occurred today as we appeared in both the Winchester Star and the Northern Virginia Daily. Our photo and an article about the Reunion in appeared in the Winchester Star to welcome the family. I was also interviewed about the Reunion by the Northern Virginia Daily. Belle Grove will be closed to the public beginning tomorrow through Sunday. Several large tents have been set up behind the house and all the registration packets are complete. It will be an exciting weekend.
