I.
Marilyn was, as a small child living in Baltimore, traumatized
when her parents visited Hershey, Pennsylvania, without
taking her and her grandmother along. She has suffered ever since
from post-traumatic stress syndrome. The pyschological scars have
been there for some sixty years. To bring closure to these
unfortunate circumstances, we set out today for Hershey,
and Chocolate World.We began our visit with a tour in which we were instructed in the intricacies of making chocolate stuff.
Incredibly enough, there was a modest gift shop here, at which we spent several hours. At the right is Dick, his back having given way under the weight of his purchases.
After dinner, we repaired to
Phillips for a return engagement at
the piano bar. We returned much later to the famous
Inn at the Colonnade to rest
up for tomorrow's trip home to Atlanta. But naturally no
rest until we played more late night bridge. The bridge lessons Dick
and I have been giving Patty and Marilyn started to bear fruit
and they finally began to win; difficult as it may be to
believe, he and I actually lost tonight. Yet another long
and enjoyable day.
II. We motored back to Baltimore,
again for rest and refreshments, and, of course, more bridge.
This was followed by dinner at
Wayne's Bar-B-Que
There we enjoyed
a bon repast.
