President’s Message ... The old saying that you don’t realize how important someone is until they are gone is doubly true at the Franconia Museum. Debbi Wilson’s illness and subsequent death has turned my world upside down because I have always counted on Deb to tell me which way was up! That’s why this edition of the newsletter is a tad late. Frankly, I have a hard time putting words on paper in her ab- sence. Without Deb to prod me into meeting the deadline, I admit I have had a hard time getting back up to speed. Having admitted that, I want to thank Jane Higham, Judy Hutchinson and Nathaniel Lee for their help in keeping the internal gears running for the Museum lately. Jane has made sure all of our memberships and contributors have been acknowledged, and Judy has taken over production of the newsletter as well as organizing the 2016 membership campaign. Nathaniel has assumed Deb’s role of handling our electronic outreach through our e-mail list and Facebook. In addition, Judy is working on another volume of Franconia Remembers. Our schedule has been set back because of Deb’s loss. You can’t imagine how much work it has been to go through the materials Deb left behind and find exactly what we needed. Everything was there, in its special place. We just had to find it! Thanks to Judy for a yeoman’s job in that department. Thanks to those of you who made a contribution to the Museum in Debbi Wilson’s honor. She specifically asked that she be remembered through your contribution. The Museum Board is hum- bled by your thoughtfulness on Deb’s behalf. As I mentioned in my eulogy at her memorial service, we are going to honor Deb with a special display at the Museum. She gave us the uniform she wore while working on AutoTrain years back, so we are going to display it at the Museum, along with her picture riding the rails between Lorton and Florida and back. We are working on the next edition of our book series, Franconia Remembers, which will in- clude stories and pictures about Franconia families, as well as sports pictures from days gone by. If you haven’t submitted your old sports pictures, please do so as soon as possible. With these sub- missions, please provide identifications of the people in each picture and the year it was taken. Drop by for a visit at the Museum on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Also, if you have any used books you would like to donate, we’d appreciate adding them to our collection to sell in order to raise funds for the Museum. If you like to read, you no doubt will find something interesting. Paperbacks are only 50 cents and hardbacks $1. There is a selection out in the lobby at all times the Government Center is open. Just put your donation in one of the envelopes we provide and slide it under the door. There is a bigger selection inside that you can browse through when we are open. Carl Sell We would love to hear from you … If you would like to give us your comments or send us a word or two, please contact us by mail or email.

Franconia Mueum Web Page Has Moved A Unique Opportunity For Franconia Museum Members Visit Historic Belvale Visit this incredible link to the mid-1700s, George Washington, And the birth of our Nation, right here in our community. Saturday, August 13, 2016 Belvale, built in the mid-1700s, is located at 7001 Telegraph Road. It is owned by Steve and Donna Vermillion, who have graciously agreed to welcome members of the Franconia Museum for a tour inside the house. Belvale was owned by George Johnston, George Washington’s neighbor and legal advisor who also was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Belvale once adjoined Washington holdings at Mount Vernon. (This visit will be part of the Museum’s annual Summer Tour, the details for which have not yet been finalized. This is an opportunity to sign up early and assure one of the limited spaces available for the tour of Belvale. The cost is $25 per person. Send your check to the Franconia Museum, 6121 Franconia Road, Franconia, VA 22310. Include your e-mail and phone number so we can update you on the plans for the tour. Don’t delay. This is a limited opportunity first offered to members of the Franconia Museum.) Page 4 Historic Franconia Legacies—Franconia Museum Inc. In Loving Memory of Debbi Wilson Eulogy from Memorial Service I’m Carl Sell and I come to pay tribute to Debbi Wilson on behalf of myself, Davie and Joe Alexander and their daughters Sherri and Cathy, as well as the Franconia Museum. Davie and Joe couldn’t be here today, but they loved Deb like a third daughter. Their own daughters loved Deb like a big sister. Like Joe, I have great respect and admiration for Deb for her love of Franconia and the huge efforts she made to make our community a much better place. She followed in the footsteps of her adopted mother, Helen Wilson, Joe’s confidant, conscience and supporter during much of his tenure as Lee District Supervisor. In fact, first Helen and then Deb were with Joe for all the 32 years he served as Supervisor. Deb took over after her mother passed away. It was no surprise that things continued to run smoothly and efficiently. As a youngster, Deb was a member of a local baton twirling group that performed at area parades. The highlight was the annual Franconia Volunteer Fire Department parade. Deb would perform with a group known as the Judyettes, who would lead off the parade. When the Judyettes finished, Deb would run back to the start, pick up an Alexander for Supervisor sign and march with the group supporting Joe. She also was the Alexander’s babysitter, remembering fondly that Joe always brought home a pizza from Rose Hill pizza on the nights she spent with the girls. Pizza was a delicacy back then, not like today when there seems to be a shop on every corner. One of our cherished memories of the Wilsons is a picture of a very young Debbi and her little wheel- barrow helping her dad, Jim, move dirt for the footers he dug for the house the family built on Barry Road in Windsor Estates, just off Beulah Road. Helen’s streak of rugged individualism obviously rubbed off on Deb. Helen rode a Harley motorcycle from Indiana to Washington in 1941, and joined the Navy after World War II started. She later met Jim while working at the Torpedo Factory on the Potomac in Alexandria. He was a crane operator. They were married in 1943. While living in a trailer park at Fairfax Circle, they befriended a young girl who had been living with a foster family. She moved in with the Wilsons, and later had a daughter named Debbi. Helen and Jim adopted Deb and she became a Wilson through and through. The family moved into the homemade house in Franco- nia and Deb attended Franconia Elementary, Mark Twain Intermediate and Edison High School. After school, she would work with her mother in Joe’s office, first in Groveton and later at the Franconia Government Cen- ter, just across the street from Alexander’s Franconia Hardware. For a while, Deb worked as a hostess on the Auto Train, which ferried vacationers and their cars from Lorton to Florida. Some time back, she gave her Auto Train uniform to the Museum and it will become a per- manent display in her honor. Deb was one of the early supporters of the Museum and has been the Vice President for Administration the last five years. The title doesn’t tell the story, because Deb was the heart and soul of the Franconia Museum. Just like it was when I served as Joe’s Planning Commissioner, I had the good fortune to have a Wilson to make sure I remembered everything to do as president. Probably only Deb and Joe and I recall that the site of this memorial service once was part of Lee Dis- trict. We remember the difficult zoning case and how hard everyone worked to make sure the church and school fit into the community. Since then, Lee District has shrunk in size but grown tremendously in popula- tion. Deb and her mother were involved in much of the activity that makes our community the great place in which to live that it is today.

(“PWHS”), having entered into a merger agreement, which if consummated would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and it appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues its complaint pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 21(b), stating its charges as follows: NATURE OF THE CASE 1. The merger of Inova and PWHS (“the Merger”) will reduce vital competition and result in higher prices and reduced non-price competition for general, acute care inpatient hospital services in Northern Virginia. Although health plans are the direct customers of Respondents, higher prices for hospital services are passed on to employers, unions, and other group purchasers of health insurance plans and - ultimately - are borne by the individuals and families residing in Northern Virginia. 1 2.
