Monday morning - Leaving Boston
| Oct. 13, we drive past the Boston
1 Commonda, Beacon Hill District
| (where John F. Kennedy Sr. had a
I complex on Hannas Hill); past the
enormous building ol the First Church
| of Christ Scientist. the Mother Church,
originated by Mary Baker Eddy In
{ 1867
We were reminded of Hull Strati,
where the Brinks Robbery book place
1 «nd ol I he New Government Canter
that Boston has built.
We caught e glimpse of the Old
, Skully Square (tha old Burlesque
[ Center). One of tha building, during
our drive, had a huge steaming
lea-kettle, (as a sign). This building
was the original site of the Boston
Massacre Our attention was called lo
the Arlington Street Church, where
people had burned their draft cards In
World War II. We passed the Old
South Meeting Hall, erected In 1927,
and on past tha old State House.
Crossing the Charles River, we saw
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology (MIT), the second most richly
endowed school in America.
Mark Stegall, a Crosbyton home
town citizen, was in some of our
thoughts, as we came into the Cam-
bridge District, home of Harvard and
Radcllff Colleges. From the bus
window, we were able to get a picture
of one of the beautiful gates and brick
walls that surround Harvard. Inci-
dentally, it is the second oldest school
In the United States and the most
wealthy school In the world.

•PAUL REVERE’ ROUTE
Then, we began to follow the exact
route ot Paul Revere’s immortal ride of
April 18, 1775 through Lexington and
Concord. The dramatic events which
led to the Revolutionary War began to
unfold at every turn In the road and
climaxed by a visit to Concord's
renowned Minute Man statue and
across the old North Bridge, where the
colonists fired the first shot and
inspired others to take a stand and
| fight.
Our tour guide really knew this
history of 200 years ago and shared
with us the details of how the
government intervened into the lives
of the colonists, which inspired them
to revolt and thus change the course of
j history.
Before lunch, we traveled through
Concord's literary community, past
the homes of Hawthorne and Emerson
and a short visit to Louisa May Alcott's
home, "The Orchard House." This
was a most interesting visit as the '
original furniture was still in the home
and the painting of May Alcott, as
were sketches on the door facings that
she did as a girl. The guide told us of
history of the family, furniture and the

On our way altar lunch at Ounfey't
Tavern on L axing ton, we paaaed
Walden Pong where Henry David
Thoreau wrote much of hit writings
Wo proceeded on through Fitchburg
and Brattleboro to Stratton, Vt., where
we spent overnight at an exquisite-
type lodge, Stratton Mountain Inn Ski
Lodgo, which was getting ready for the
ski season On the way up the
mountain, we saw one of Arnold
Palmer's famous championship goH
course and where he conducts golfing
schools
As usual, the scenery is again
beautiful, with Its greens and other
colored foliage and roadside stands
filled to capacity with pumpkins,
apples, flowers and other reminders of
the harvest season
TUESDAY, FINAL DAY
We leave the cool mountain Nr
(where they thought It might possible
snow that night) and motor through
more quaint New England towns ol
Bennington, Wllliamstown - home of
Williams College, Slock bridge and
others We passed a large paper
recycling plant, with bale* of paper
stacked Inside and outside of the
building. Northwest Massachusetts
has lots of furnlturs plants. Also
viewsd from the bus was tha Wusst
River, a swift running stream, tha sits
of tha "Wlds World of Sporta" kayak
races each year, a familiar scent
on television.
At Manchester, wa saw tha beauti-
ful marble sidewalks In this exclusive
resort community and tha famous
Equinoh Hotel, which housed the
social elite of bygone days. It also was
the hometown of Pearl Buck.
At Bennington, Vt., we got to spend
a too short hour at the Bennington
Museum, a great and most Interesting
display of memories of yesteryear; tt
school house that Grandma Me
attended was on the same grour___
which housed some of her paintings
and articles that had belonged to her.
The poet Robert Frost la burled In a
nearby old historical cemetery.
We * jd lunch at Lenox, Mass., In
the Berkshire Hills and later slowed to
a near stop to see If Norman
Rockwell, the beloved artist, wai
sitting in his favorite rocker on a porch
of a local hotel, the Red Lion Inn. He
wasn’t to be seen that time, but from
the bus window we did see his home*
We follow the western side of the
State of Cinneticutt through Canaan,
Cornwall, etc., then turn at Danberry,
Conn, (where there is much hat
manufacturing and the home of thg
mad hatter) to get back onto the NeW
York Thruway for the final trip to the
John F. Kennedy Airport and the
return trip to Dallas and Lubbock and
Crosbyton.
The 16 lanes of fast-moving traffic
was more congested as we neared New.
York City. In fact, bumper to bumper
in areas on our way to the airport. This
reminded me of how slow and easy and
peaceful our way of life is in good ole
Crosbyton compared to New York City.
My trip to New England is really a
"tour I’ll always remember" and it
was great to travel the road that Paul
Revere took . but I was happy to be on
a very comfortable bus, with someone
else driving, and a courteous guide to
remind me of some of the history that I
had once learned and to be with
friends from Crosbyton and a con-
genial group from the West Texas
area. itoHUiitaHiMiH
