Q- I have about a hundred different CRS booklets on my shelves! We have known the Rohrboughs ever since the late 1930s when Lynn Rohnbough with his wife Katherine first visited my family in Viper, Kentucky. They returned many times, and as the little girls grew, our families' friendship increased. They got songs from several of us , and I think one of their very early publications bore the notice, Copyright 1940 by Lynn Rohrbough. Its title, Favorite Songs and Play Party Games, and down below- From The Ritchie Family, Viper, Perry County, Kentucky. Published by Cooperative Recreation Service, Delaware, Ohio. Price, 10c. In case anyone is interested, it contained:

Swapping Song               
Down Came an Angel
Gentle Fair Jenny          (Most songs gave the name of the family
The Riddle Song             member who sang the song, and for games
Pretty Saro                  gave playing directions)
Pretty Little Miss
Cedar Swamp
Goin to Boston
Two Dukes A-Roving
Old Bald Eagle
Charlie
Old Betty Larkin

The Rohrboughs were lovely and wonderful people- hard to find the right adjectives- but they were just that, and more. If I wrote to them asking for prices on certain booklets for schools I was teaching, Lynn would just send 50 booklets marked, "No charge." I know they must have given away more than they sold! I remember that their "Handy Kits" were popular with dance people working with kids. One was "Handy Play Party Book," and the other, "Handy Square Dance Book." used by almost all school teachers at least in Appalachia, and I still have them in my library.

Lynn and Katherine Rohrbough are certainly worth honoring.
