BEGINS 100dth year.

Mt. Pleasant April 2. 1963

Horticult re started its 100th year with Flora
and Harry Goff entertaining us at Mount Pleasant

The April meeting seems to carry special overtones
for all of us. We have not met for months
and we feel especially grateful that the time is
at last here to renew fellowship with our friends.

The winding and rising approach to Mt. Pleasant
the marvellous lawns and broad views from the wise
verandah are beyond words. The spacious and
gracious house provides equally delightful views
from each room. Imagine having a library overlooking
an orchard.

After we had enjoyed the delivious food, Robert
Miller, our president, called the meeting to order.
A few moments of silence followed in memory of
our greatly beloved member, Billie Stabler, who had
died since our fall meeting. Following this, we
recalled her last meeting with us, her contribution
to Horticulture, her work for the temperance movement
and the esteem and love in which she was held by
all people and both races.

It was Lillie Stabler who introduced myme to
maryland corn pudding shortly after we moved to Springdale. she came calling and gave me
a receipt for it, a thoughtful gracious gesture,
which comes back to mind every corn pudding season.
