IT ALL BEGAN with a phone call from Alexandria.

“Hey, mom, okay if 1 bring a few boys home for the weekend to go skiing?” This querry was put to his mother by Bill Snead, a student at Episcopal High School. With an affirmative reply, Bill and his friends packed up and headed for the wide open spaces of Rappahannock.

They arrived — all 20 of them — late Saturday afternoon (they attend school on Saturday) in a small bus provided by the father of one of the boys. Though a little dazed at the extent of their son’s “few friends,” Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead rallied to the occasion.

Mother Lois laid in some extra supplies before the stores closed and the youngsters had purchased and packed some food items, including a huge roast of beef, ' numerous cartons of instant mashed potatoes and French fries.
