Yes, Gwynn Oak had the big roller coaster. My friends and I would always sit in the first seat, even if we had to wait an extra turn to get it. I have heard of Glen Echo but for some reason I think it was the one that I read about that was just over the PA line. You went up Reisterstown Rd. and turned left and went back up in the country close to what became the Ft. Dietrich area. Our church purchased an old hotel up there in olden days and ran a camp in the summers. I'm working on genealogy now but my daughter wants me to stop and write in between haha But what wonderful times to remember--little did we know that people would become capable of doing such bad things. You must have lived in Towson---the old Bendix building fronted on Joppa Rd. I went to a medical ctr. there last year for some tests. Another funny thing--my husband has an Adams line. I traced them to 1750. His Thomas was one of the first 5 buried at Conewago Chapel--I think it's in present day McSherrystown--I have been there. He died in 1776 leaving her with 9 children and 2 farms. She raised the children, ran the farms and lived for another 50 years---now that's a lady !!!! She lived with her son in her last few years and she is buried at St. Joseph's in Taneytown. My daughter and I did his line first --to a point, then I stopped and went to my "southern" roots while my aunts were still living---that ended up being a good thing because those lines are hard to follow. My aunt passed away 2 years ago. Good luck, Doris
