Photo courtesy of Anna Racer Fincham SQUARE DANCES AND quilting parties were a part of everyone’s life style back in the ’30’s. This picture of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Warfield Racer was taken at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Bolen in Luray in the early 30’s right before a family gathering. Mr. Racer played the banjo and his friend, Allie Alther played the violin and folks would gather from miles around to hear the music. In the meantime, Mrs. Racer joined by her three sisters would host a quilting party for the ladies. The Racers had 10 children and lived in Rappahannock for most of their lives with the exception of a few years in Zanesville Ohio, when Mr. Racer worked on the railroad. All ten children are deceased except the youngest, Anna Racer Fincham, who now makes her home in Viewtown. Mrs. Fincham can still remember those family gatherings and recalls her father’s ^favorite song, “God Be With You Until We Meet Again.”
