Natu- rally, we have access to listings in all other Shenandoah Valley areas as well. There are many reasons why now is an excellent time to buy a retire- ment home.

Simply put, we loved the guy —and he returned the feeling unreservedly. Retired FSO TomHutson, who succeeded Arnie in two staff assistant jobs, has co-authored a book about one of them— “Doug andWahwee: Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II, the General’s Nephew and His Unconventional Wife: Their Life in the Foreign Service.” He is now collecting anecdotes, memories, jokes and “Arnie stories.” These will be compiled into a handsome volume that sets every remarkable thing he did in historical and political contexts—sometimes humorously, always affectionately. (A simultaneous documentary film is contemplated.) If you’d like to participate (you’ll receive two copies of the hardback ver- sion if your contribution is included, when it appears in bookstores and online in about two years), please send your submission to P.O. Box 121, Thurman, Iowa 51654. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
