President’s Letter

WINTER 2015 The Freestate

“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.

Linda Rich

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!

Parliamentarian

Roz Hopkins

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.
