Marge Englehart, widow of former Beacon Journal State Desk editor Patrick T. Englehart, will be taking a cruise to Alaska this month. Marge stayed in their "dream house" near Ocala, Florida, for seven years after Pat died in 1995.
Today Marge lives in the Elks National Home in Bedford, Virginia. She keeps busy with golf, bowling and bridge.
And keeping track of her children's activities. Son Peter, once a producer for ABC Sports, is an avid marathon runner. Mary Pat is married to an architect. Andrew is a lawyer and a civil engineer with a dozen or two people working for him. Phillip has a doctorate and is in Kansas City, Missouri.
You can drop Marge a card or letter at

If you want Marge's phone number in her apartment, call me at (330) 388-4466.
The Elks have operated the retirement complex -- "not a nursing home," Marge says -- since 1903 after the civic organization bought the bankrupt Bedford Hotel. The 200-acre Elks Home is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on U.S. 460, between Roanoke and Lynchburg. Visitors take I-81 to exit 150A onto U.S. 460.
There has been a Bedford Community Theatre on the Elks grounds since 1976.
