REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time

FAMILY OUTINGS

Family outings, particularly into Washington had a profound
effect upon me. I was so impressed by the museums that
during my early teens I’d even skip school to spend the day in
them. Too often I’d walk from our North Arlington home
through the Arlington Cemetery across the Memorial Bridge
and climb the Washington Monument, or go to the
Smithsonian Museums’, or even go so far as the Capital to
walk the corridors among the hundreds of statues and ride the
subway to the Senate office building.
