“It’s fun to search and a joy to find”
Judy Roblyer, Editor
Dear Fellow Questers:
Thank you for your participation in the
October Council Meeting. Hearing chap-
ter members speak about their projects
was interesting and enlightening. Shar-
ing our history may help us to be more
creative as we move forward into the
future. Sharing a bit of my personal his-
tory will hopefully give more definition
of why I am a dedicated Quester.
Our family home burned to the ground when I was a teenager. Everything
we owned was either new or donated by generous neighbors. There would be
no family heirlooms to pass on to me and my siblings. Perhaps the lack of
family heirlooms is what motivated my mother to begin collecting and even-
tually opening a shop selling antiques. I now live with many of these inherit-
ed treasures, lovingly preserving them for future generations.
My personal collections are china, crystal and silver, items easily packed
and shipped. Setting a beautiful table was important to me, as it was with all
military wives when living with government issued furniture. A unique sake
set purchased when living in Nagoya, Japan in 1954, is one of my favorite
acquisitions. Another is the silver cream and sugar set that came from the
magnificent 1886 Rodgers home in Charleston, South Carolina. A vase that
survived the 1964 Alaskan earthquake is now a treasured antique. A newer
treasure is the five piece Nippon chocolate set discovered in an antique store
in Bentonville, Arkansas when attending convention. I continue to have fun
searching. The Quester motto was written for people like me!
Since joining Questers, I’ve had the pleasure of serving in a number of
positions; Publicity chair for the 2012 International Convention, editor of
The Freestate, president of Captain John #517, and presently, state president.
Each position was a rewarding, learning experience, giving me the opportuni-
ty to meet and become friends with many wonderful ladies and their hus-
bands.
As state president, I strongly promote the new goals of our International
President. With help, we can recommend a Maryland Quester to serve as an
International Officer. Help me by completing the form on page 12 of the
QQ, fall issue. We can add at least one new member this fall and one new
chapter this fall. These goals can only be accomplished with the dedication of
each Maryland chapter.

Bette Lewis
First Vice President
Curio #153
In addition to being the First
Vice President, I am also the Curio
Chapter President. I have also
served Maryland State Questers as Corresponding Secre-
tary. My passion for collecting includes over fifty Nativ-
ities and twenty pieces of salt glass pottery. Professional-
ly, I was an educator for forty-seven years, serving as
teacher and principal in the public schools for thirty-
seven years, then as Adjunct Professor of School Admin-
istration for ten years at Goucher College. My major
hobbies now are gardening and flower arranging and I
currently study the art form of Ikebana design. I am a
National Garden Clubs, Inc. member, Accredited Flower
Show Judge and Landscape Design Consultant.
Jane Ward
Second Vice President
Lady Caroline #1160
I was born in Newton, Massachu-
setts and presently live in Easton,
Maryland with my husband John F. Ward.
I taught elementary school in Virginia, but moved to
Washington, DC when my husband was transferred to
NASA Headquarters. While in Washington, I volun-
teered at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and am a
Docent Emeritus.
I received my pilot’s license in 1976 and am Instru-
mented Rated and hold a Ground School Instructor’s cer-
tificate. I have owned my own airplane, a C150 for
twenty-eight years.
I have been active in Historic Preservation groups and
served on the Zoning & Planning Board and the Board of
Zoning Appeals. In addition to being a member of Lady
Caroline Chapter, and Second Vice-President of Mary-
land State Questers, I am also a tour guide at the Air
Mobility Museum (AMC) at Dover Air Force Base.
Gardening is another interest. I have served as a Super-
visor in the Talbot County Soil Conservation District.
Lynn Schneider
Recording Secretary
Arcadia #1388
I started my life as a Quester
many years ago with the Clynmaira
Chapter. It was a wonderful expe-
rience, but then I moved to Texas
and many other places and lost touch with Questers until I
moved back to Maryland and settled in Ocean Pines. I became
friends with a fellow Quester and joined the Arcadia Chapter.
I have raised my granddaughter, Paige, since she was three
years old,. She is now seventeen and a senior in high school,
so I have my hands full. She is the light of my life. I have two
grown sons who live in Stevensville and Westover. The son in
Stevensville has two daughters, and loves living on the eastern
shore.
I am an avid golfer and play as often as work and life allow,
usually three times a week. I also work at Chico’s in Ocean
City.
Sue Willits
Corresponding Secretary
New Yarmouth #1048
After moving to the Eastern
Shore in 1990, I was asked to
join Questers by a New Yarmouth charter member, who
admired my home and the many family antiques that I
cherished. Other chapter members urged me to present a
program about some of my collections and I proceeded to
research and document items of particular interest. Since
that time, I have downsized and my children have inherit-
ed some of the furniture, oriental rugs and antiques that I
cannot use. Along with their documentation, I hope that
many of these family pieces will again be passed to fu-
ture generations. Questers continue to provide me with a
wonderful group of friends, interesting programs and
continued passion “to search and to find”. As member-
ship chairman of the New Yarmouth Chapter and Corre-
sponding Secretary of Maryland State Questers, I am
diligently hoping to increase membership.

Smithson #1271
My family home was in Iowa. Lo-
cated in the heartland of the agricul-
tural region. I had 4 brothers and 2
sisters that kept my parents “on their
toes”. It seemed everything we had in
our home was old and well used!
Now, I see many of the functional
items we used are nicely displayed in
thrift stores and antique shops.
I did not appreciate antiques until I became involved in history
after relocating to Maryland. After learning and researching
about the historical events that formed our country and govern-
ment. I greatly admired the significance of the historical land-
marks and antiques.
A friend invited me to visit her Quester meeting one night
about eight years ago. Since that meeting, I have been very in-
volved with our local Smithson Chapter.#1271. I have present-
ed different programs, arranged day trips, held various offices
and attended State Day meetings and an International Conven-
tion.
Questers is an important organization necessary for the preser-
vation of our culture. We need to inform and educate our peo-
ple of the valuable and worthwhile treasures that seem to be
frivolously thrown in the trash or destroyed.

Captain John #517
My mother and I were introduced to Questers in 2003 or
2004, after we both had moved to Laurel, her from Kensington,
and me from Winston-Salem. We were a good fit because we
both loved antiques. We had been
invited to several meetings as
guests. At a Captain John tea in
May of 2010, a member put her arm
around me and said “I’m so glad
you’ll be joining us”. That is how I
became a member. In my second
year, I was elected vice-president
and was strongly encouraged to
attend the council meetings. It was
at my first council meeting that I
volunteered to be circulation chair, as I didn’t think I’d want to
be the newsletter editor! I’m now chapter president, circulation
chair, and becoming a webmaster I’m always happy to learn
about new things. I just never imagined Questers would help
me learn how to build a website. Suggestions are more than
welcome!

Captain John #517
I became a member of Captain John in 1971.
When Maryland was chartered as a state I was
appointed Historian, then elected Secretary and
in 1982 became State President. My chapter
offices include Secretary, Parliamentarian, and
President, serving in that capacity five times
In 2005, I was asked to serve again as State
President. Studying and collecting glass has
been of great interest to me. Chapter programs visits to historic
sites and attending many International Conventions has in-
creased my knowledge of the importance of restoration and
preservation. Being involved in Questers and becoming aware
of the tremendous impact we have though Scholarships, Grants,
and maintaining our Headquarters makes me very proud to be a
Quester

Anne Arundell Towne #934 I grew up in Williamsport, PA.
After graduating from Lycoming
College I taught elementary school
in several states. I moved to Annapolis in 1976 and joined Anne
Arundell Towne Questers in 1980. Over the years I have held
every office in our chapter .and have served as State Treasurer,
Second Vice President and President. In 2007, I was appointed
Chairman for the 2012 International Convention held in Balti-
more. Now, I am newsletter editor.
I collect Naval Academy China, but have recently become
interested in “The Old Curiosity Shop China”. I have four chil-
dren and 11 grandchildren. My husband Mike loves history and
is the only male Quester in MD..

P&R COMMITTEE’S FIELD TRIP TO
RIVERSDALE
In September the Maryland Preservation & Restoration
Committee traveled to Riversdale House Museum in
Riverdale, MD to meet with Ed Day,(Museum Director),
Jennifer Flood (Collection Manager) and Ann Wass
(Historian). We were given an informative, behind the
scene tour of the house that included updates on projects
they are currently pursuing, including a floorcloth for the
solarium that will be spectacular when completed. All
Quester donations were pointed out as well. Each room
has a notebook for docents so that they are able to identify
significant items in the room and credit donations that have
been made.
The committee met with Jennifer Flood to discuss Riv-
ersdale’s 2014-2015 Desiderata List of items for Maryland
Questers to purchase. The prices ranged from $5,000 to
$15,000. She was given authority to search for the availa-
bility of an antique fireplace screen and fender.
The State Project is voted on by the membership at the
Annual State Day and follows the Quester year which runs
from June 1 to May 31.

INTRODUCING: OUR NEW INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT
Ginger Robbins, our new International Quester President will be our guest at State Day
April 8-9, 2015. Previously, Ginger served as International 1st Vice President. She is from Tulsa, Oklaho-
ma and has been a member of the Indian Nation Quester Chapter #862 for nine-
teen years. However, her interest in history and antiques began long before she
joined Questers. It was a large china hutch that sparked her interest in the Rob-
bins’ Family Heritage. The hutch, originally a desk went through numerous
changes by successive generations. As the family grew and needs changed,
drawers, shelving units, a large glass paned cupboard and a compartment for stor-
ing serving trays were added.
As a retired music teacher Ginger continues to enjoy learning new things. Her
collections include doll dressers and chests (salesmen samples), English letter
boxes, “Ginger” spice jars, and holiday post cards. However, she is always
questing for knowledge about a new found treasure.
She and her husband Gail have two sons, a daughter-in-law and two wonderful grandchildren.
She encourages Questers to be come more active and less idle in your State Chapter—to say “YES” to
serve in any capacity!

CHAPTER NEWS
ASSATEAGUE #1325 In November the Assateague Questers were treated to a wonderful tour of the
Rackliffe House. Rackliffe, overlooking Sinepuxent Bay, is a beautifully re-
stored 18th century coastal plantation house, located just a half mile hike from the
Assateague Island Visitors ‘Center. The Rackliffe House Trust envisioned the
house as a site for coastal heritage interpretation. The Trust, in partnership with
the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Assateague State Park, has
restored Rackliffe House and conducted preliminary archeological investigations
of the surrounding property. The Trust operates the structure and surrounding
three acres as a museum. The plantation house is reportedly the only one of its
kind and vintage in the Mid- Atlantic region that is open to the public. Barbara Coughlin
CAPTAIN JOHN #517
In 2014, Captain John adopted the Canal Quarters program which focuses on restoring lockhouses
on the C&O Canal. Our September meeting was held at Lockhouse 10. The speaker was Becky Cur-
tis, Director of Programs and Partnerships. The chapter donated $2,000.00 to the program, which was
used to purchase two radios. The first, a 1953 Emerson radio was installed in Lockhouse 6. In the
1950’s Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas helped save the Canal from becoming a highway.
The second a 1938 Silvertone radio was placed in Lockhouse 10, which is restored to the 1930’s Civil-
ian Conservation Corps/New Deal era.
Currently the radios function as radios, picking up local radio stations. They are also retrofitted for
ipods. Soon the Trust’s website will have available vintage radio programs from the two decades.
Curtis said, “These radios bring a unique element to the Canal Quarters experience. The only sound
you hear at most lockhouses are the noises of nature and the voices of your companions. Now, with
the addition of the radios you also hear the sounds of the past in the background.
There are 26 lockhouses still standing. Six have been restored to various time periods in the canal’s
history. Visitors may spend the night, providing an immersive historical experience. Margy McCeney
Our September meeting took place at the lovely home of Sharon Bauer in Barnsville,
MD. After seeing a presentation by two members of the historic St. Paul Community
Church, which is in the Sugarland Forest Community in Northern Montgomery County.
The Church was established by freed slaves after emancipation. St. Paul is now a histor-
ic community center that is both a museum and an events center, but not an active
church. The members of St. Paul are in the middle of various renovation projects. Our
Curio Chapter is pledging funds toward painting the outside of the Church.
The Church was used in the 2012 movie “Philomena”. It had to be temporarily redeco-
rated inside from a Protestant to a Catholic Church. Our speakers were even in the mov-
ie (briefly) as worshippers.
The October meeting was a trip to Glenstone Museum in Potomac. This five year old
avant-garde art museum contains paintings and sculptures by the world’s most cutting
edge artists. The museum is on a large landscaped property that is maintained using sus-
tainable gardening practices.
In November we will go to the Krieger Museum, one of Washington’s premier private
museums. In December, we have our Christmas luncheon at Hunters’ Inn and have a
fund raiser auction, where members bring flower arrangements and Christmas cookies to
be auctioned. Dianne Gregg

LADY CAROLINE #1160
On October 22, 2014, Lady Caroline
Questers took a field trip to the Chesapeake
Culinary Center (the CCC) where they en-
joyed lunch. The center is housed in the re-
stored and refitted historic 1903 red brick
Caroline County High School, on Franklin
Street in Denton, Maryland. The old school
site was purchased by the City of Denton in
2005. The CCC proposed reconstructing it.
The CCC is a grassroots, non-profit organ-
ization committed to the betterment of our
community through job training and econom-
ic development in the culinary arts.
The organization was established in 2004 to provide culinary training to youth and adults through practicum
learning experiences. It is not only a non-profit organization that provides job-training for the culinary field, but
is also a full-service catering business.
The $1.5 million reconstruction involved developing the ground floor of the building to create classrooms
and a bakery. The upper floor serves as a training restaurant with kitchens and a large dining area. It is hoped
that, in time, the restaurant will be open to the public and there will also be retail areas for high-quality local
food products. All architectural plans for the development of the center were provided on a pro bono basis.
The new center also provides training opportunities for adults as well as children, opening up the prospect of
culinary careers and helping to revitalize the local economy. City officials hope that it will prove useful to com-
munity members who could not afford the additional cost of traveling or relocating to study the culinary arts,
and see it as a potential gateway to development of new businesses. The Culinary Center, now an arm of the
Caroline County School System took in its first full time students in October of 2013.
LEISURE WORLD #1258
We were honored to have Anthony Cohen as a guest at our June meeting. A
Washington, D.C. native, who grew up in Montgomery County, Tony is a well
regarded historian who has spent his adult life researching, writing, and talking
about the Underground Railroad. His interest was sparked while a student at
American University and grew from there.
We especially enjoyed his fascinating adventures as he personally retraced an
Underground Railroad route with the cooperation of the National Parks and
Conservation Association. On the two month trip, there were many helpers and
bystanders along the way. We were impressed by his story-telling charm,
knowledge and presentation. Tony’s book, printed twenty years ago, will be
updated and reprinted soon. He is also involved in making a full length mov-
ie. For further information visit Tony’s website.

PORT OF CHESTER ##1169
Every other year the Port of Chester Chapter holds a fund raiser for its Preservation and Restoration project, the
Cliff School Museum. The 15th Biennial Antiques Seminar was held in October, 2014 in Chestertown, with ap-
proximately 50 people attending. Many interesting items were discussed and appraised by Raab Christhilf of Alex
Cooper Auctioneers in Towson. A large painting of a Chesapeake steamboat, “The Louise” by artist R.E. Fader,
caught his attention because of its obvious connection to the Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay area. These boats
carried many a passenger to the Tolchester and Betterton beaches of Kent County during the summers of the 30’s,
40’s, and early 50’s before the Bay Bridge was constructed.
The upcoming Seminar, our ongoing need for docents, and help with the schoolhouse prompted the Sophie Kerr
Questers #1118 of Kent County to offer their services to us. They were looking for a project and needless to say,
we were delighted to accept their help. The school is 137 years old and is in very good condition despite its age.
In addition to showings upon request, we hold open houses the third Saturday from May through October. Only
8.5 miles south of Chestertown, it’s a delightful drive to Cliffs City. Check our website: www.kentcounty.com/
cliffs school. Call or e-mail Margaret Smith (410) 778-2529 truffles253@gmail.com to schedule a visit.

SMITHSON #1271
The Smithson Chapter #1271 had been touring historic sites this fall. October 1, we visited a historic herb farm in Cecil County called Sinking Springs. We had a tea luncheon in the 18th century log home. A 436 year old sycamore tree grows near the house. We walked through the herb gardens and made a natural floral tussie to take with us.
On November 5, a day trip was arranged to have a house tour and clothing exhibit of Downton Abbey at The Winterthur Museum. A tram ride on the grounds showed the beauty of the fall foliage.
Our chapter has been involved with volunteer work at Colonial Craftsmen Weekend at Jerusalem Mill Village and at an appraisal fair held by our local Historical Society. Both events were well attended and plan to continue to support their endeavors of preserving local history. The living history museum of Jerusalem Mill Village is listed on the National Register as an 18th and 19th century preserved community located in Gun powder State Park, in Har-ford County, MD. The village encompasses the mill, a store, springhouse (circa 1845), a farmhouse, and the Jericho covered bridge. The village also offers a living history program, walking trails, artifacts, memorabilia, and exhibits to be enjoyed.
