Dear Miss Ford,
In the midst of a snow storm, The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival
wishes to welcome you as our Queen Shenandoah XLVIII! We are all so
excited and delighted to have such a lovely and vivacious Queen to
reign over our festivities. I am sure you will outshine any inclement
weather that may dare to occur in May.
I have enclosed a few photos that show last year's Queen, Cynthia Baker,
in several of her duties - and have noted these on the backs. I will
try to give you a short resume' of the three days.
THURSDAY - Your duties will begin with your arrival in
Winchester on Thursday morning. You will meet
your four Maids-of-Honor and Chaperone, prior
to an apple pie cutting ceremony and a joint
civic club luncheon. You will also have a
rehearsal of the Coronation that afternoon,
followed by dinner and an informal party with
your entire Court.
FRIDAY
- You will dress in your Coronation gown, attend
several luncheons, the Coronation at 2:30,
review a Firemen's parade (for a very short
time), a dinner and the Queen's Ball.
BEFORD DIRECTO LIBRARY
SATURDAY - Again, you will wear your gown, Knight the
Grand Marshal, luncheon and ride on a float in
the Grand Feature Parade. That night you will
attend an informal dinner-dance and your
official duties will come to an end.
SUNDAY morning, May 4, you may return home whenever you wish.
You may have heard that Bob Hope is Grand Marshal of the Feature Parade,
and I think you will have great fun "Knighting" him on Saturday morning.
Miss Susan Ford

February 4, 1975
The White House
We would like very much to have an interview with you, so that we may
obtain a photo of you in your Coronation gown for inclusion in the
Festival Program, which goes to press on March 1. We could also answer
any questions you may have at that time.
As you know, Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. has invited you to be his house
guest during the Festival and we hope you will be able to enjoy this.
Senator and Mrs. Byrd would be your hostesses there at all times, with
much help and assistance.
Mrs. Ferman Perry (Kathy) will be your personal Chaperone at all
activities and, of course, we are all available any time.
Also, if you would like to invite someone to escort you to the evening
functions, please let me know. However, if you wish us to provide a
suitable young man, we would be glad to do SO.
Please let me know when you will be available for the interview and
photograph, and feel free to write or call me at any time if you have
any questions.
Looking forward to a GREAT Festival for you -
Most sincerely,
Sandra Armstiong

Dear Miss Ford:
The Upper Dublin High School Marching Cardinals, Fort Washington,
Pa., and their Band Director, Mr. Richard Karschner, congratulate
you on being chosen Queen of this year's Shenandoah Apple Blossom
Festival. We all know your family is very proud. I have the feel-
ing that you would rather be taking pictures of, rather than parti-
cipating in, the festivities.
Our fine Marching Cardinal Band has been invited to join in the
parades on both Friday, May 2nd and Saturday, May 3rd, which is
"your parade". Many of our young people are very hopeful of catch-
ing a glimpse of you and taking pictures, However, as the band is
staying in a "Holiday Inn" in Luray, Virginia, (50 miles south of
Winchester) and are to parade that afternoon, chances are that we
will not see your "crowning" as Queen. What I am going to suggest
may take some good arrangement due to "our" separate and hectic
schedules, but here goes!
The band members would very much like to meet you. I promised these
young musicians that I would try very hard to persuade you (and your
family) to join us for a lunch or dinner but that it would definitely
depend, among other things, (as I have said before) on our schedules.
The schedule on May 1st has the Cardinals leaving the High School at
7:30 A.M. and having lunch at Luray Caverns (plus a tour); check into
Holiday Inn at Luray; practice; dinner at the Inn. On Friday, May 2nd,
the band will have a relaxed tour and lunch at Harper's Ferry prior to
parade in the afternoon. Saturday would be out of the question--too
much going on. We do hope you could accept an invitation for lunch or
dinner as guest of the Upper Dublin High School Marching Cardinals.
If the afore mentioned can not be arranged, perhaps there will be some
available time between Thursday and Friday that would enable you to get
down to Luray for one of our practice sessions. That would really lift

"The Band" to new heights.
Good luck to you in your future. Please convey the best wishes of
the entire Upper Dublin Marching Cardinals Organization to your parents.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Winchester, Virginia.

Dear Susan,
I think this is a very nice invitation!
It is from a lady in Winchester, Virginia,
inviting you to drop by the new SPCA Animal
Shelter while you are in the area. As
she says, "It would really add such a human
touch to your reign as our Queen and mean
very much to the ordinary citizenry of
Winchester. " The only trouble is it might
be difficult to work in.
Drop by animal shelter if
Pete Sorum can work it into
the schedule.

Many thanks for sending me the tear sheet of

Susan who got a great kick out of it.
It was fun meeting you, Miles, and Jessica.

Dear Mrs. Weidenfeld:
Just a note of thanks for your splendid help
during our interview/photo session with Susan on Tues-
day.
Enclosed are tear sheets. The story moved
on the Associated Press wire with the front page photo.
I am looking forward to working with you dur-
ing the festival. Susan will be under a tight schedule
and we will want to provide super coverage of her reign
as Queen Shenandoah. I am sure she will be a delightful
Queen. Winchester will give her a warm reception.
As we discussed Tuesday, the next step in our
coverage is a color photo of Susan in her coronation
gown. If the Festival Headquarters, your office and
the Star can arrange it, our photographer can bring the
necessary regalia to Washington. We do need a color
slide.

Dear Miss Weidenfeld,
I have just written Miss Susan Ford, welcoming her as our future
Queen Shenandoah the 48th, for May 1, 2 and 3. I will also be extending
an invitation to President and Mrs. Ford and their family to enjoy our
festivities.
There are several details to be worked out and I thought maybe you
could help us with these. We would very much like to have an interview
with Miss Ford and obtain a photo of her at that time in her Coronation
gown for the Festival Program, which goes to press March 1. We will be
glad to drive down, at your convenience, with a photographer and reporter
from our local newspaper to do this and, also, answer any questions that
may arise.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. has invited her to be his house guest for
the entire time, and she will also be personally chaperofed at all
activities by Mrs. Ferman Perry (Kathy).
We would also like to know if she will be bringing her own escort
for the evening functions, or if she would like us to find a suitable
young man.
We certainly hope that Miss Ford will enjoy all the "duties" of her
reign here in the Apple Capital and she should have fun Knighting Bob
Hope on Saturday morning.
FORD
She, herself, is such an outstanding young person that we are
speechless with thanks for her accepting the invitation to be our Queen.
I thank you in advance for any assistance you can give us and cer-
tainly offer our full support in whatever is required of us. I hope you
will feel free to write or call us at any time.
Most sincerely,
Sandra Armstrong

BACKGROUND ON FORD FAMILY
The Nation's First Family is an outdoor-sy, sports-loving family,
close-knit and informal in their life-style.
The family consists of four children, ranging in ages from 17-25
and in interests from ranching to the ministry. Susan, the
youngest, is a senior in high school and the only Ford offspring
to live in the White House. Her three older brothers, Steve, Jack
and Mike, have a variety of interests and are scattered in locale
from the East Coast to the West.
Susan, 17, is a senior at Holton-Arms, a girls school in Bethesda,
Md. A tall, blue-eyed blonde, she plans to attend Mount Vernon
College in Washington, D.C. next year and is considering the
possibility of a career in child care or fashion. She is a sports
enthusiast and espcially enjoys skiing, swimming, horseback riding
and tennis. Among hobbies are photography, needlepoint and
caring for a growing family of plants at the White House. Susan
also has unofficial charge of the White House pets, a sealpoint
Siamese named Shan and a golden retriever named Liberty.
The youngest son is Steve, 18, who graduated from T.C. Williams
High School in Alexandria, Va., last year and decided to take a
year off before starting college. He is a ranchhand on a cattle
ranch near Missoula, Montana, and has also worked on a ranch in
Utah and a dairy farm in Virginia. He is looking into studying
agriculture when he returns to school.
Jack, 23, is a senior at Utah State University at Logan, Utah. Though
his plans following graduation are uncertain at the moment, he is
particularly interested in environmental affairs. Jack's interests
range from reading to camping, from sports to music. He
has been a member of the US Forest Service fire fighting crew and
has been a park ranger for the National Park Service.
Mike, 25, and the oldest of the Ford offspring, is married and a
student at the Gordon-Cornwell Theological Seminary in Essex,
Mass. He is married to the former Gayle Brumbaugh of
Catonsville, Md. Mike, a political science major as an under-
graduate, is studying for a masters degree at the Seminary and is
interested in a career working with young people. Gayle has a
masters degree in social work.

Dear Mrs. Weidenfeld:
Inclosed are two photographs taken at the Winchester Apple Blossom
Parade by a Navy Recruiting Command photographer and forwarded to me
as an item of interest.
I have not been able to identify the VPI cadet playing the young
gallant, but I plan to forward both photos to VPI to identify and
pass on to the cadet. Both are rather charming photos, and my
purpose in forwarding them is to request that Miss Ford consider
penning in a little note of thanks on the one of her choice. I'm
sure it would become a valued memento for the young man and perhaps
for the school yearbook as well.
Should Miss Ford feel that to be inappropriate, feel free to retain
the photos for whatever use you see fit. If you do return one or
both and desire duplicates for a scrapbook or whatever, I have copies
available.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Weidenfeld,
I am listing below the names of three "Virginia Gentlemen" who several of us feel
would be the top-notch choices of escorts for Miss Ford.
(1) Thursday Evening - Billy Pifer, 21 years old, 6 feet, a Junior
at Washington and Lee, plans to attend Medical
School, is great at tennis and skiing and is
the son of Dr. and Mrs. William Pifer (Father,
Chm. of Winchester Republican Party).
(2) Friday Evening
- Jim Robinson, 22 years old, 6 ft. 2 in.,
History Major at Madison, coaches swimming,
skiis, plays tennis and football and looks
and does most everything athletic, son of
Congressman and Mrs. J. Kenneth Robinson.
(3) Saturday Evening
-
David Kern, 22 years old, 5 ft. 11 in., Senior
at the University of North Carolina, History
Major and plans to attend Law School next year.
Phi Beta Kappa, Morehead Scholar, great tennis
player, likes all kinds of music and is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kern (Father, Chief
Engineer at National Fruit Product Company)
These really are outstanding boys in personality, looks and just generally all
around nice guys. If Miss Ford accepts these young men, would you let me know
as soon as possible, as they have exams and transportation arrangements to make.
I have also included her schedule and a map of Winchester showing where she will
be according to the schedule. I will be glad to answer any questions that may
arise.
Everyone is getting very excited, praying for good weather and looking forward
to our new Queen. Will be in touch again soon.
Most sincerely,
Sandra L. Armstrong
