Good food, good drink and good people, and what do you have? You have exactly what Tish and Tom Jones had on the evening of December 9, at the Army Navy Club. Snow, sleet and buckets of rain, just in that order, didn’t stop the party goers as over a hundred arrived for the “6:30 on” party. There were those that wouldn’t brave the storm, and what a fine “to do” they missed. Guests came from all points. Mrs. Thomas Hyde drove in from Sandy Spring and enroute went by Rockville to pick up her sis ter Mrs. John Henderson. They were last seen in a deep discussion with Bill Carroll about the River Bend Dam project, and not in the least concerned about the nasty weather that had kept lesser sports at home. Judge and Mrs. Thomas An derson arrived from Rockville as did Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stout, their son, Bill and daughter Mary Coyne, and the Clifton Veirs, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Cissel, Jarl and Rose Dyrud, the Senior and Junior Adolph Gudes, Mrs. Robert Peter, Mrs. Dor sey Clark and the Allison Chapins to mention a few, and then there were many more from Potomac. The Nick Sheas were raving about the oysters Rockefeller, as was the entire crowd. Mrs. Tom Neblitt was shopping downtown and came by but her husband was iced in Po tomac. The Gene Martins were there and Col. and Mrs. Filbert Cranford, as were the Stu Tip tons, William Bullises, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Herndon, Tim and Jane Hanson and her mother, Mrs. Abel Harden. Tim was celebrating a belated birthday, or else he was extending the previous night's celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Keppler were there but left early so he would be in good voice for St. Francis’ choir the next a.m. Others included the Jones boys, Tim and Bob and their wives Nancy and Debbie, re spectively, all greeting and adieuing with their parents. Tim came down from his New York job for the party. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Cowie, who have purchased thirteen acres of the Jones property, were meeting their prospective new neighbors. Other Potomac resi dents had the opportunity to meet the new Chief of Naval Operations Admiral and Mrs. George Anderson, jr., as well as many more of the Jones’ town, civilian and Navy friends. Although it was reported that this hostess with the mostest never got a bite to eat her guests were well supplied with every type of sea food imaginable, roast beef so ten der you could nibble politely, ham, turkey, and all the extras. Coffee was served on a table that also included a re volving tiered epergne filled with French pastries.
