VIRGINIA

Then we met with Bill Crutchfield (Taft '61) and had lunch with him at the Fairmont Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. After an enjoyable lunch and conversation we headed over to the University of Virginia for a private tour by Bill. He was on the Board of Trustees for 8 years and has knowledge that most people don't. He helped in the restoration of the dome that was destroyed by fire and was then rebuilt that way Thomas Jefferson had originally had it done. We saw gardens and fences that Thomas Jefferson had designed. We saw Edgar Allen Poe's room from when he attended the University in 1820. The tour Bill gave us was very informative and insightful. Just meeting Bill was the highlight of my day!!
