As we passed Mt. Vernon we sounded the traditional "21 bells". It is traditional for vessels passing Mt. Vernon to toll their bell 21 times in honor of George Washington. From there we passed Fort Washington and then on to the City Dock in Alexandria. That evening we had a very enjoyable dinner with Ruth Curl (Simmons) and Jim Guirard. Ruth Curl and Charlie were neighbors as they grew up in Jackson, Mississippi; first grade through high school. SONATA is at the City Dock in Alexandria, in front of the Torpedo Factory.
