Weekend before last, Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia, celebrated its 75th birthday. Nancy and I traveled the 357 miles from Fairfax in approximately seven hours and enjoyed the evening celebrating with several hundred attendees, including Delegates Joe Johnson, Brian Moran, Frank Hall and Terry Kilgore. Delegate Johnson received a well-deserved award for his long and outstanding service to southwest Virginia, to Barter Theater and to Abingdon.
