He was four years old when he picked up his cousin’s ¼ size violin and played a song on it, said Jenifer Magruder. Since then, the music in his head has never stopped. At his request, he started violin lessons the next year and has had several great mentors teach him classical, blues, rock, bluegrass, and old-time fiddle. He has played with many groups over the years including Fredericksburg Youth Symphony, Forte Youth Symphony, FAYM Orchestra, and the Rock for Strings Orchestra. He is also a part of several bluegrass and contempo- rary music bands including The Doghouse Ramblers, The Local Edge, and he plays every Sunday night with The Wellions at The Sunken Well Tavern in Fredericksburg.

The past, present, and future of one of the North-ern Neck’s historic landmarks, Ditchley in Nor-thumberland Country, will be the focus of an April 29 presentation by owner Cathy Calhoun. The pro-gram will begin at 2 p.m. at Shiloh School at Shiloh and Balls Neck Road.
The program will be presented by Northumber-land Preservation, Inc., and Shiloh School, reported Bud Ward. Calhoun will offer insights into the his-torical past of Ditchley and ongoing renovation efforts to the manor house. She also will describe how Ditchley is being used to develop a profitable small scale sustainable agriculture business.
Ditchley dates from 1651 when it became the property of Col. Richard Lee, the original Lee emi-grant and progenitor of the Lee family of Virginia. First built around 1762 by grandson Kendall Lee, the manor house is a classic example of a Tidewater Virginia Georgian plantation. It sits on some 162 acres between Dividing Creek and Prentice Creek
in sight of the Chesapeake Bay. The home’s interior retains the character of the original structure, with the interior highlighted by a handsomely detailed Georgian staircase and Federal period formal parlor.
For most of the 19th Century, Ditchley was owned by the Ball family. Alfred I. duPont and wife Jessie Ball duPont bought the home in the late 1920s. It was later managed by the Jessie Ball duPont Fund.
Now owned by Cathy Calhoun and Paul Grosklags, Ditchley is one of the most widely rec-ognized historic residences in the Northern Neck.
“With any residence of the historic stature of Ditchley, our challenge is to be loyal to its illustri-ous past and mindful of how its future can best pay homage to that history,” said Calhoun.
Guests are urged to arrive at Shiloh School by 1:45 p.m. and to enjoy light refreshments in the his-toric school house afterwards.
The Courthouse Commu-nity Orchestra will perform a free concert at 3 p.m. April 30 at Mathews High School, 9889 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews.
Conducted by Guy Hayden, the orchestra members are adults and students from Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex counties, reported Sandy Warren. A variety of music will be performed by composers Leroy Anderson, Richard Rodgers, Johann Strauss and Jacque Offen-bach.
This concert is a partner-ship between Concerts By The Bay Community Con-certs and the Courthouse Community Orchestra to sup-port youth musical education.
“Stay out of the shot,” is just one of the expressions that White House staffers quickly learn when indoctrinated into life in the “fishbowl,” accord-ing to Laurie McCord, former member of the George W. Bush administration.
“A staff member should never be in the background or around the principal being pho-tographed. We should always be invisible,” McCord said. “Did you see President Trump’s inau-guration when a military aide walked behind him as he was speaking? That was an aware-ness we all had to develop of what not to do.”
McCord will share this axiom and others at her View-points talk at 11 a.m. May 1 at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington.
After serving in several dif-ferent roles at the White House from 2001 to 2006, McCord and her husband, Scott, who worked at the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, retired to a farmhouse built in the early 1800s in Lancaster County.
Scott McCord’s mother, RWC resident Helen McCord, encour-aged them to buy the farm after she and Laurie attended an estate sale there. It is a major lifestyle change from the long hours and prestige of serving at the residence of the President of the U.S.
The Northern Neck Orchestra’s (NNO) April benefit recital, Cheryl and Friends, Songs with Diverse Instruments, will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 29, at Good Luck Cellars, 1025 Goodluck Road, Kilmarnock.
Soprano Dr. Cheryl Brown Davis has a full career in music, both as an educator and as a performer. She is music director of The Chesa-peake Chorale, and leads the Northern Neck Bay Tones.
Staged as a collection of duets, each song on the program features Davis’ voice and a single instrument. Musicians accompanying Davis will be Steven Custer, cello; Arline Hinkson, piano; Celeste Gates, clarinet; and Eric Jacobson, violin; all are active players in the NNO.
The program will include a song cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams, based on poems by A. E. Housman, reported Joan Blatterman. For this musical setting of “Along the Field,” Jacobson will accompany Davis on violin.
The English poet also was the inspiration for pianist and composer Arline Hinkson, who has set two of Housman’s works, “Stars” and “The Fairies,” to music for soprano and piano, said Blatteman. Davis and Hinkson also will collaborate on Gabriel Faure’s “Après un Reve.”
The English theme continues with four songs by Gustav Holst based on carols composed on medieval devotions. The cello accom-paniment will be by Custer.
Gates will join Davis for a performance of two songs composed by Gates to poems by James Whitcomb Riley, “When the Frost is On the Punkin” and “Little Orphant Annie.”
The program will close with three songs from the Beatles repertoire by English composers Paul McCartney and John Lennon: “If I Fell,” “Blackbird” and “Here, There, and Everywhere.”
Tickets, $25, can be purchased at northernneckorchestra.org or at the door. Students have free admission with online reservations.
“The most surprising thing about working in the White House is that the extraordinary becomes ordinary,” McCord said. “Things happen every day that would make my head spin. I’d be walking through the West Wing to pick up my lunch and run into the President in the hall. It was always somewhat of a shock to the system as it was so unexpected. I had ‘pinch-me’ moments every day.”
While no two days were ever alike, McCord said all days were long and relatively stressful—usually starting at 7:30 or 8 a.m. and ending at 6:30 or 7 p.m. – or much later if there was a special event.
“On the first anniversary of 9/11, my department was in charge of all the remembrances. President and Mrs. Bush started their day with ceremonies on the South Lawn to coincide with the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center. They continued
to the Pentagon, Shanksville, Pa., and concluded at Ground Zero in New York. It was a very draining day, but we all had to keep going, sometimes through the tears,” said McCord.
The perks helped balance the hard work and long hours. “President and Mrs. Bush were very accommodating to the families of their staff,” McCord said. “We were encouraged to bring our families to the house.”
Laurie and/or Scott’s par-ents came to a Veteran’s Day breakfast, a Christmas party and a Marine One landing on the South Lawn.
“Helen and Stan McCord even joined us in the Presiden-tial box at the Kennedy Center one evening, thanks to the gen-erosity of Laura Bush,” McCord said.
For reservations, call 438-4000. Attendees are invited to remain after the presentations for a complimentary luncheon.

LANCASTER—Michael Charles Davis was born in Oneonta, N.Y., on April 13, 1938. When he was 15 years old, his family moved to Albany, N.Y., where he attended the Christian Broth-ers Academy and was an active Boy Scout and Eagle Scout like his father and son.
Mike enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and became an imagery analyst stationed at SAC Offut Air Force Base in Omaha, Neb. Unknown publicly for three decades, Mike was the imag-ery analyst who discovered the Cuban Missiles that launched the Cuban Missile Crisis under President John F. Kennedy. Because of his work, Mike was recruited by the Central Intel-ligence Agency and worked at the National Photographic Interpretation Center for 35 years.
While in Omaha, he met the love of his life, Patricia Louise Johnson, an elementary school teacher. They were married shortly after on November 5, 1960. The young couple moved to the East Coast where they split their time for the next three decades between Bowie, Md., and Lancaster. They retired in 1994 to their “TRYST” in the woods in Lan-caster and became active mem-bers of their community.
Mike lived a life of steward-ship and service as an Eagle Scout, an airman, a federal employee, a Knight of Colum-bus, and a beloved husband and
father. He was often seen plow-ing snow, cutting grass, testing water samples, and grading the community roads. He was also known as the unofficial “Mayor” of his community, Heritage Point.
Mike is preceded in death by his son, Edward Davis.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Patricia Louise Davis; his sister, Maureen Mullin; and by Ed’s wife, Lynne Davis; daughters, Cynthia M. Glakas (James N.

He was born on May 3, 1929, in Grand Rapids, Mich. After graduating from high school in 1947 he entered the Army with the intention of using the GI Bill to become a doctor. As a young soldier he discovered that military life was his true passion and he went on to earn his commission from Officer Candidate School (OCS) as a second lieutenant in 1949. He stayed 34 years and retired as a colonel in 1981.
An infantryman, Erik com-manded companies in Germany and in Korea and was Senior Province Advisor in Bien Hoa Province, Vietnam, from 1967-1968 and during the Tet Offen-sive.

During his career he earned a bachelor’s in military science from the University of Mary-land and a master’s in jour-nalism from the University of Wisconsin. After retiring from the Army, Erik joined the staff of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) as its director of legislative affairs where he represented the Army on Capi-
tol Hill; he retired from AUSA in 1995.
Growing up on Lake Cadil-lac he had a great love of sail-ing and enjoyed exploring the Chesapeake Bay aboard his sailboat Sverige. A dedicated and lifelong Christian, he actively supported the congre-gation of St. Stephens Angli-can Church and its work to establish a new congregation, now Light of Christ Anglican Church in Heathsville. He also enjoyed annual reunions with his OCS classmates.
Erik was married for 48 years to the late Rita Ginn, whom he met while he was stationed in Berlin, Germany, as a junior officer, and she was posted there with the state department. After the loss of his beloved Rita to a sudden illness, he married long-time friend Patri-cia Gomolak, who passed away in 2005.

Kilmarnock United Methodist Church, 89 East Church Street, Kilmarnock, will host “Two on the Bench,” a concert of organ and piano music, written to be played by four hands. The concert will begin at 3 p.m. May 7 at the church.
The program of duets will feature Denise Cromer and Neil Smart performing works of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, said Smart. Donations are welcome to benefit the Chesapeake Chorale.
Works for four hands on one keyboard became popular in the early 1700s with works by Mozart leading the way, he said. In their heyday, they were played principally in studios or parlors. Great symphonic and chamber works were frequently arranged for piano duet—making the music available to many outside the concert hall.
Cromer has spent over 25 years as a church organist and pres-ently serves as organist and choir director at Kilmarnock UMC. She also has served numerous musical organizations as accom-panist. She is the accompanist for the Chesapeake Chorale.
Smart is a former organist and choir director at Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church in Weems and presently serves Bethel UMC in Lively. With music friends, he has organized numerous concerts of Baroque and early Classical chamber works. He has also sung with the Chesapeake Chorale.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) teaches us to pray:
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Jesus, as often times was the case, had been pressed by followers about this and that. He had been asked how to pray? After cautioning about vain repetitions Jesus laid down an outline for prayer. It was an outline He knew we’d find useful. We are to substitute words in the outline for the actuality of our prayer needs.
Further over in the New Testament we actually find Jesus praying about his first cen-tury disciples. It is no acci-dent how that prayer relates to us. Listen in to the Lord praying: “…he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything
you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one,
as we are one.While I was with them, I
protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so
that they also may be sancti-fied in truth.
I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become com-pletely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given
me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foun-dation of the world.
Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these
know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” —John 17:1-26, NSRV
We began talking about a model prayer—our prayer. It is how we should pray. It is a superb outline. We are to change it to meet our spiri-tual needs.
In John 17, Jesus is pray-ing his way off this earth. Read again just how specific, how petitionary his prayer for us. O how he loves us. Get to know the praying Jesus, won’t you? He will change your life, your church, and your family. We all need to be steeped in prayer.
How then should we pray? Deliberately and frequently.

Heart Havens is a much-loved Mission of the Afton United Methodist Women.
The Heart Havens organization empow-ers the residents with intellectual disabilities to live full and vibrant lives with as much independence as possible in neighborhoods across Virginia, reported Carol Hammer.
During February, the Afton women engaged the church in gathering supplies from the Heart Havens wish list, includ-ing paper products, cleaning supplies, art
supplies and fun items such as nail polish, simple board games, jigsaw puzzles and gift cards to local attractions, said Hammer.
At the end of the month, items were gath-ered and delivered to the Rappahannock House, she said.
As written in 2 Corinthians 9:12, “This service that you perform is not only sup-plying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”
