25 Years Ago

Thursday, May 16, 1974

Honor students of the 1974 graduating class at Rappahannock County High School are Mary Moore Kilby, Cassandra Frye, Susan Latham and Robert Titchenell, in that order. Commencement for the 60 seniors will be held June 6 at the school. “The problems of starting a new business, so horribly aggravated by the unprecedented warm winter... caused the financial catastrophe in what was thought to be a wellfinanced operation.” This summing up of the financial difficulties of the Rappahannock Ski Corporation is contained in the minutes of a meeting of creditors held recently at the ski area. A series of unusually warm and snow-less winters has raised financial havoc with what is becoming a growing list of would be ski area operators in Rappahannock. Robert W. Smith of Utica, Mich, and his wife were overnight visitors recently of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Nethers of Sperryville. The two men were Army buddies in 1945 in Company E 175th Regiment of the 29th Division. They had not seen each other since mustering out of the Army.
