but their memories had faded as well. jot down any memorable event. say between 2 and 6 years old or 3 to 7 years old. all toys have some developmental aspect even if it is only from the social point of view. Md. a community of boarding houses and a locally popular amusement park WWII meant restrictions on travel and that improved business at the little resort Although Braddock was in decline compared to earlier decades patronage was good enough to keep local businesses going The park had several rides and slides a fine merry-go-round a roller skating rink and a miniature train to ride A nearby swimming pool completed the amusements available A trolley brought day visitors from nearby Frederick five miles east A small store doubled as a post office Jim Crow was alive and kicking in those days I clearly remember a sign at the entrance to the park that included the admonition "This park is for use by white gentiles and their servants only" I recall staying at several different boarding houses one of which was the Coblentz Mountain House The appeal to us was that the altitude was a blessing for me (I was prone to bronchitis) and for my Father (also troubled by respiratory problems) Alas Braddock Heights gradually deteriorated over the succeeding years (Braddock Heights was named after Gen Braddock a figure in the French and Indian War He led a force of soldiers west along route 40 an early national highway marching over Braddock mountain as it came to be known)The CabinIt was about 1942 when my parents decided to buy a vacation home near Braddock mountain I was seven The spot they selected was pretty remote If you travel north along the crest of Braddock mountain you will be driving on Ridge road A little over a mile up the road they bought a small two-room tin-roofed log cabin on three acres The lot had a west view of Middletown valley The Potomac river gap near Harper's Ferry WVa could be seen from a corner of the lot There was only a scattering of houses along the road in those days The pavement ended a hundred yards before the cabin turning into a dirt road Farther along the dirt road on the west side were the Clipp farm and then a small dairy farm where in later years I was sent from time-to-time to buy fresh milk I suppose my parents (particularly my Father) saw the potential that the cabin and it's location had To a seven-year-old it was the start of a great adventure Dad rather grandly named the place "Catoctin Oaks" for the four beautiful oak trees on the lot and the Catoctin mountain chain which included Braddock This was in the Blue Ridge mountains I can't shed any light on who built the cabin and when I believe my parents bought it from the Malones who lived just south on Ridge road and who owned many acres in the areaThe cabin itself was as bare and rustic as you can imagine No electricity no indoor plumbing (not even an out-house) only an outside well with a hand pump for (non-drinking) water Heat was available from a handsome stone fireplace The interior had a large open area with a sleep loft above the north side And an ample supply of snake skins There was an attached shed on the valley side used for cooking The description of the inside of the cabin may sound familiar to those of you who have watched the TV show "Little House on the Prairie" If you recall the interior of the TV house the layout was very much the same as the cabin: a large room on one side a central fireplace and sleeping areas behind the fireplace (parents below girls above on a loft) (My wife Thelma suggested I title this essay "Little House on the Mountain" I took a pass on that idea)The lack of facilities meant two things: First the cabin could only be used for day trips (The woods provided an open-air out-house) Second Dad soon began what became an almost endless series of modifications and improvements to the cabin But the main feature of the place was the construction Yes it was a real honest-to-goodness log cabin its walls made of pine logs with mortar-filled cracks The attached picture shows the cabin about 1950; this is a photograph of an oil painting by my sister Elizabeth Today the painting hangs above the fireplace in my home in Gettysburg As soon as practicable a well was drilled an electric line was run in and the "valley room" kitchen basement and bathroom were added All this took time of course Meanwhile we would "rough it" on visitsHere's an interesting anecdote: Building the Valley Room required a good bit of excavation It so happened that Camp Detrick in Frederick housed German prisoners-of-war; the prisoners were hired out to local citizens (I think the prisoners were captured U-boat crews) So for a time we had a crew of young blond workers plus an armed guard I observed that the prisoners took special notice of my teen-aged sisters whenever the girls would show up (Of course there were no incidents) This memory of the prisoners tells me that the cabin's major modifications were completed by the end of WWIIEventually the cabin became suitable for extended visitsCabin lifeWhen the seasons permitted we (my parents and I) would make the one- hour drive to spend a weekend at the cabin In summer stays would extend to weeks with Dad coming up for the weekend Our family weren't the only ones to use the cabin Aunt Corona and Uncle Frank often borrowed it for parties with their friends mostly from St Ann's parish in NW Washington In fact I'm sure mountain living gave Aunt Corona and Aunt Mary the idea to buy a lot next door and build a retirement home on Ridge road (now Tom and Jane Magee's home)From the late '40s on my parents hosted family get-togethers regularly The cabin soon became the focus for an extended family Hardly a Sunday went by without family or visitors stopping by and being served cocktails and dinner by my generous parents Marilyn and Jack Barrett with their family were regular visitors Uncle Paul Magee would roar down the driveway in his Plymouth and before long he and his brother would be trading good-natured barbs His sons Paul Jr,
