Yes, but if I'm being honest, I think I would have been afraid of Dorothy Draper. 😁

I have a vintage book of Charleton Varney’s. It is dated from 1969.

[@thetartantopiary]

That is very cool. Hold on to that one!

I have to comment here....in my UTTERLY "uncalled for," perhaps awful opinion....I think that the movie "The Shining" would have been far more horrifying if it had been filmed in the Greenbrier! Wow. You couldn't MAKE me stay here. There are areas that are engaging....but not many. YOU, though, Tartan Topiary, are always informative, kind, and fair. I appreciate you. This place has always made me cringe.
