Faith in Humanity and the ADTA Bunker


Faith in Humanity Restored.  Some idiot who lost his wallet on the way back from a week in trial was called by the lady at the travel plaza who found it.  Do you know how hard it is to get a new West Virginia license?......

Again, enough about me - let’s talk about ADTA Greenbrier.

 We always knew ADTA members would get fired up and get up early for golf or a hospitality suite, but never expected the record early registration for this year’s meeting, hereby declared the “Greenbrier County Crush.”  Since we have booked our block of rooms at the Greenbrier.  While Excellent Director Peggy Schultz works with the Greenbrier on getting additional rooms for our members, we, much like Project Greek Island, have a backup plan to house our folks and it is sweet.

The ADTA now has blocks of rooms at other excellent hotels in nearby Lewisburg, America’s Coolest Small Town.  You’ll be close to the Greenbrier and you won’t be shortchanged the Greenbrier experience (and, frankly, you may even save some change).

We have rooms at the Historic General Lewis Inn, a bucolic bed & breakfast type hotel in downtown Lewisburg.  “The eastern end of the building, including the dining room, the kitchen and a suite of rooms on the first floor, was a brick residence built in the early 1800′s by John Withrow.  The main section and the western wing of the Inn were designed by Walter Martens, a well-known West Virginia architect who also designed the Governor’s Mansion in Charleston.  The Hock family spent many years gathering antiques from Greenbrier and adjoining counties to furnish the Inn.  Spool and canopy beds, chests of drawers, china, glass, old prints and other memorabilia are throughout the Inn.”

 The Hampton Inn and the Fairfield Suites are brand spanking new hotels.  I am staying at the Hampton this week and next and it has big clean rooms, a pool and workout facility and a pretty good free breakfast (which, believe me, you won’t get at the Greenbrier, at least for free…..)  Both are in the Brier Commons development right off I-64, ten miles from the Greenbrier and a short ride into Lewisburg. 

So, if you haven’t signed up, we found you a spot.  More on more rooms at the Greenbrier soon, but meanwhile, make a reservation and Get to the Greenbrier.
