Your history committee is hard at work gathering information about Montclair in preparation for publishing a book next year – in honor of our 40th Anniversary.  We’d love to hear from you too, especially if you lived here in the 1970’s.  I recently spent many hours looking through back editions of The Potomac News and The Washington Post.  You may have heard that 2009 is considered our 40th Anniversary, but what a turbulent start we had!  And while 1969 is indeed the anniversary of our property owners association, the rest of the story is pretty fascinating.

You know he was born in February, but do you know where?  Colonial Beach, Westmoreland County, VA - about 30 miles southeast of Montclair, along the Potomac River.

You know his last name was Washington, but do you know his middle name? He had none.
