Mom Letter ~~ Fall 1980
She wrote:
Dear Shelby,
We made it back home alright. I'm sorry it turned out to be such a nasty day. We went straight to Chesterfield Mall, ate and went on home. Dad was really hurting. He didn't do anything yesterday.
I hope you told the Zollmans and Katherine that we were sorry we missed them.
I cleaned good yesterday and Dad had a fire in the fireplace (where else!). It was nice. I washed my raincoat and all of that stain came out.
Well Honey, I must get ready for work. But I do have next Thursday off ~~ Election Day.
Did the pants fit alright? Be good and study. Write often.
Love,
Mom
P.S. I did enjoy my lunch and even the walk back.

Stratford Inn Matchbox ~~ 1990s
Grandpa would always stay at the Stratford Inn when he was visiting Danville before moving back in the early 1970s. We stayed there on a visit sometime around 1995 and the inn and restaurant were very nice. Good food! I think they underwent some major renovations in the last few years and are back open for business.

Navigator's Den Matchbook ~~ Late 1960s
The Navigator's Den was a very nice seafood restaurant that overlooked the Appomattox River in Hopewell. My parents used to go back in the late 1960s and early 1970s for dinner and a movie afterwards. From what I could gather online, the restaurant was open until around 2000 and another restaurant has opened in the same building.
