—o 9M yy yt? he |V CE Ng Young Washington was not a lazy land owner. Asa surveyor, he proved his worth on more than one occasion. What were his dreams as he marked off the land? A bit of Greenbrier spirit, a moment of school life, a book of memories—that has been our aim in compiling this book. Memory is, at best, tinctured with sadness, bitter-sweet. In years to come, as you turn these pages, may you derive pleasure untold from the memories which they recall.
