Before She Leaves Pennsylvania
To Pennsylvania:
When one leaves the home of a
host or hostess, it is proper to turn
back at the door and say once more,
“Thank you, I've enjoyed my stay,”
and that is what I would like to do
to you, Pennsylvania. I have been
your guest for eight long happy
years. It's unusual for Army families
to stay in one place eight years, but
we have and my life has been so
| much richer because of it. I cannot

many things to thank you for, large
and small. The sight of your deer
coming down from your mountains,
swift and graceful and breath-taking
to watch. Thank you for the variety
of color autum turns your country-
side. Also the snow crunching under
foot, when winter comes. The lights
of Christmas, the sound of your
church bells. Thank you for letting
me pass two milestones in my reli-
gion here, my first Holy Communion
and my Confirmation — for St.
Mary's, no Cathedral of Europe will
ever quite compare to what it is to
me. Thank you for your Capital
and Reading, historic Valley Forge
and unforgettable Gettysburg, and
Philadelphia, where our indepen-
dence took shape.
Wonderful days at Hershey Park,
chicken pot pie, chicken corn soup,

enjoy such tasty cooking, but here
in Pennsylvania.
I've shared all this because you
