We took our kids to Hershey Park a couple of times. I loved the scent of chocolate in town. X did some business with Hershey and got to eat kisses straight from the production line. I don't remember them sending presents home with him but he might have eaten them on the way. M&M Mars was generous and they mailed gifts to me--stuffed M&Ms and loads of candy bars and a pretty crystal clock I can no longer find a battery for.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-8019614109370490892021-05-19T13:24:14.518-04:002021-05-19T13:24:14.518-04:00I had a colleague some years back who rushed her d...I had a colleague some years back who rushed her dog (a golden lab) to the vet because he had eaten an entire 2-pound box of See's chocolate from under the Christmas tree.

In the book I read on Catherine , they were talked about for not constructing a huge estate and least of all where they worked in a place no one heard of. They also were slated to be on the Titanic...but Milton's plans with business changed and cancelled at the last minute. To think, that would have changed history for that town.Agnes Goldberg-DeWoofshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844026602594610700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-475079917861374672021-05-19T11:15:54.925-04:002021-05-19T11:15:54.925-04:00I've become a chocolate snob now that I've...I've become a chocolate snob now that I've tasted proper chocolates.

We oftened stayed at the stunning Hotel Hershey. We've been to Highpoint and walked the ground but never saw the inside. I once read an intresting book about Catherine Hershey, she was quite a laid back but colorful woman whom Milton adored with all his life. When first married he didn't tell anyone, not even his mother. And your right, she was the single one woman to bring high fashion to the Harrisburg area...prior no one had ever seen the like. At least on that scale. Renowned for her immense flumed hats. Loved your pictures.Agnes Goldberg-DeWoofshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844026602594610700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-17087047523658061772021-05-19T09:46:20.293-04:002021-05-19T09:46:20.293-04:00A "modest" 22 rooms.
