I read this gem while working at the Shriver House today - someone left it on the counter by the cash register. I worked at the Farnsworth House restaurant as a waitress the summer of ‘78 after graduating from high school before going to college. A somewhat “spooky” place. Anything with Gettysburg history appeals to me. Tim Smith did a great job!
