President replies
The first grade class at Rappahannock County Elementary School which is instructed by Mrs. Cathy Arn and Mrs. Gracie Calliandro sent a birthday card to the President of the United States wishing the nation a happy 200th birthday. Last week the class received an acknowledgement of the card from President Ford which said, “I warmly commend all who participated in plans for the celebration of our National Bicentennial. Your efforts are symbolic of your deep sense of patriotism and civic pride. They also reflect the vitality and spirit of America.
I wholeheartedly welcome your commitment to help make our Nation’s two hundredth birthday a fitting and memorable occasion for all of us.” It was signed, Gerald Ford.
The group of youngsters were excited and enthusiastically received the President’s reply.
