Reader remembers the Hand trip to Washington

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the picture of the Hand trip to Washington in 1957. It took a magnifying glass, but I was able to find me and recognize a few others. I remember that trip vividly. When we were visiting the FBI building and saw a sign with the list of violent crimes on it, I asked Mr. Kirk what rape was! He was very embarrassed, and a few girls took me to the restroom and explained it to me! Guess I was pretty naive.

Hope you are doing well. I really enjoy the newspaper - even though I live across the river in Lexington County.
