VA, which served as our base for the three days we were to visit Washington sites. Included in the Washington tours were visits to the Capitol, Smithsonian Institute, U.S. Mint, FBI Building, Washington and Lincoln monuments, and the Penta- gon. On Tuesday evening we attended a performance of Agatha Chnsties Mousetrap at the Hayloft, a din- ner theater Our destination Wednesday was New York. Enroute we stopped in Philadelphia to visit Independence Hall and Franklin Institute Our exciting time in the Big Apple began with a sub- way nde to the ferry for a trip to the Statue ot Liberty The World Trade Center was our next stop, and we ascended 107 stories for a fascinating view ot New York. Getting the closest some will ever get to heaven is a phrase used to enliven the trip. Next stop was the American Stock Exchange and finishing out the day was the United Nations building. That night we attended the Broadway musical Annie at the Alvin Theater. While in New York, we stayed at the Edison Hotel where stars like Cathy Lee Crosby and Kool and the Gang were also staying Some lucky ones caught glimpses of Gilda Radner, who was appearing across the street. Other points of interest in New York included Lincoln Center, RCA Music Hall for a performance ot America featuring the Rockettes, Cathedral of the Divine, and the Museum of Natural History Friday evening we tried eating with chopsticks and saw the sights of China- town We ended our stay in New York with a shopping expedition on Saturday morning to stores such as Macy ' s before starting for home that afternoon. It ' s a great place to visit, but . Oneonta surely looked good Sunday evening ' We ' ll never forget the sights or the fun that made our senior trip so wonderful Most of us will pass up a visit to Burger King for awhile, and I doubt that you ' ll hear many complaints about Alabama ' s weather, either Who would have dreamed an interpreter would have come in handy for some ot us slow-drawlin ' Alabami- ans ' Special thanks are due to Mr and Mrs. Joe Huie who so graciously gave of their time and knowledge to plan a really great tnp To them and also to Mr and Mrs Troy Bellew who, along with the Huies, served as cha- perones, we say a big thank you and we love you.
