Donald Tinney designed the coach. Now it is time to offer it to all who would enjoy being royalty for a while. Think out of the box as to when we can hit the road again!

In section 3 of my PowerPoint lectures on the "Women of Belcourt" scheduled for the Edward King House in April I recognize March as Woman's Month
Here is one of the women I knew at Belcourt Castle:
A Remarkable Woman to be remembered
NELLIE RUTH FULLER 1882 -1972
Nellie Ruth Fuller was born in Charlton, Massachusetts to Doctor Lafayette D. Fuller and Emily Hyde Fuller in 1882. Nellie was an amazing and ambitious lady. Like all of the Fuller Family, she possessed an innate ability to accomplish anything she desired, excelling in any endeavor from farming, invention, exploration and especially to serving the needy and underprivileged.
Putting aside her horses for automobiles while she was a young woman in Connecticut and using countless inventions to make life easier for a woman she experienced many astounding changes in nine decades of American progress. She went west in a covered wagon, experienced women’s rights to own property, heard on the radio about the short flight of the Wright Brothers and Lindberg’s transatlantic flight. She lived through World War I, prohibition, the Great Depression, World War II, and actively embraced all the changes in America.
On the evening of the historic landing of American astronauts on the moon octogenarian Nellie, after her first stroke, sat in her wheelchair in the private area of Belcourt Castle watching it on TV. What a lifetime!
Imagine how I felt seeing her reaction and hearing her keeping up with the times!
