Notes

In May, my friend Dan Arp graduated from Georgetown with a Master of Science in Foreign Service. Considering international events over the last two years, it was quite a time to be studying in this discipline. The ceremony was uplifting and informative, and I was honored to be a guest.

We took the long way back to Philadelphia and wound up crossing the Susquehanna on Route 372, a rural part of Pennsylvania, just north of the Maryland line. We shared the road with plenty of horses and buggies as the Amish went to church or visited friends and family. As novel as it was to see that, it didn't hold water next to this sight: a phone booth. Quarryville, PA still has one. God bless Quarryville. The phone booth is on East State St. near the intersection with Route 472.
