its own on the same day and
was open for special viewing

equally famous sites. Since

possible locations are given
for it.
Invited to a reception and
unveiling Of the map were
Georgetown residents inter-
ested in the preservation and
restoration Of the town and
friends of Georgetown"
Presenting the map at the
party was Admiral Neill Phil
