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 -2-- 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.

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 FORD A 07VS38 LIBRARY "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. Enclosed is a color picture of our fine proud unit. Sincerely yours, Paul S. Butler, Jr. Public Relations Director Upper Dublin High School Marching Cardinals Band Parents Association Fort Washington, Pa. P.S. I will be more than happy to answer any questions concerning our fine band and our stay in Winchester. My home address is: 1840 North Hills Avenue Willow Grove, Pa. 19090 Encl.

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.

H:662-5619 mrs. 0:662-3401 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.

Dance # # # # For immediate release THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary to Mrs. Ford 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. # # # # WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS SPRINGTIME EXTRAVAGANZA Our Forty-eighth Annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival WILLING FESTIVAL Winchester.

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, Incl HUGH G.

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.

We all know your family is very proud. I have the feel-\ning that you would rather be taking pictures of, rather than parti-\ncipating in, the festivities.\nOur fine Marching Cardinal Band has been invited to join in the\nparades on both Friday, May 2nd and Saturday, May 3rd, which is\n\"your parade\". Many of our young people are very hopeful of catch-\ning a glimpse of you and taking pictures, However, as the band is\nstaying in a \"Holiday Inn\" in Luray, Virginia, (50 miles south of\nWinchester) and are to parade that afternoon, chances are that we\nwill not see your \"crowning\" as Queen. What I am going to suggest\nmay take some good arrangement due to \"our\" separate and hectic\nschedules, but here goes!\nThe band members would very much like to meet you. I promised these\nyoung musicians that I would try very hard to persuade you (and your\nfamily) to join us for a lunch or dinner but that it would definitely\ndepend, among other things, (as I have said before) on our schedules.\nThe schedule on May 1st has the Cardinals leaving the High School at\n7:30 A.M. and having lunch at Luray Caverns (plus a tour); check into\nHoliday Inn at Luray; practice; dinner at the Inn. On Friday, May 2nd,\nthe band will have a relaxed tour and lunch at Harper's Ferry prior to\nparade in the afternoon. Saturday would be out of the question--too\nmuch going on. We do hope you could accept an invitation for lunch or\ndinner as guest of the Upper Dublin High School Marching Cardinals.\nIf the afore mentioned can not be arranged, perhaps there will be some\navailable time between Thursday and Friday that would enable you to get\ndown to Luray for one of our practice sessions. That would really lift\nFORD A 07VS38 LIBRARY\n\"The Band\" to new heights.\nGood luck to you in your future. Please convey the best wishes of\nthe entire Upper Dublin Marching Cardinals Organization to your parents.\nWe are looking forward to seeing you in Winchester, Virginia.\nEnclosed is a color picture of our fine proud unit.\nSincerely yours,\nPaul S.
