Thank you for these pictures. I used to live in Georgia Hall in the early 1960s. If there are more pictures of Arlington Farms, AKA South Post, Ft. Myer, I would be more than interested. My email address is nosneb01@hotmail.com and I have a group on Facebook called "I lived on South Post, Ft. Myer, Virginia". Anyone interested is more than welcome to join the group!
