BUZZY]K)'JI']IZ~- WAY BZ]K)]~ ~ BELT~rAY CA]~ ' [O CABIIN ] ~

All the yea r s that BuF.~/Potter was growing up, he l ived with his b ro the r Neal and their parents on the 3S-acre farm that now encompasse s the Belt~ay, the Clara Barton Parkway, and the David Taylor Model Basin. The senior Potters m o v e d from Minnesota when h~r. Potter got a job with the Depar tment of Agriculture. They lived first in Cher ryda le , Virginia; then in 1919 when Buzzy was 2 they bought their home in Cabin John. The original part of the house is of Civil War vintage.

Mr. Potter left the Governmen t to b e c o m e a fulltime da i ry farmer. %Ve had six cows; by the time I was old enough to r ide a bike, I was del iver ing milk after school to families in Cabin John. I got so I could cover the whole route in 16 minutes, but m y father got complaints from the cus tomers that their milk had but te r on top. Then I did the del iver ies in our '31 Chevy Roadster: I wasn't old enough to have a l icense but n o b o d y worr ied about that much in those days. Roy Ferguson was the pol iceman who pat rol led Macarthur on his '32 Indian Chief motorcycle from Great ~ 0 ~ $ to the District Line; he l iked us and n e v e r gave us any t roub le : ~

"During prohibition, this a rea was alive with boo t l eggers . One time we w e r e all out at r ecess and he re comes Roy Ferguson chasing some boot leggers . They ran right through the kids and Roy was shooting over their heads . I know there was at least one still on a remote section of Cabin John Creek . A North Carolina moun ta inee r had a little p lace concea l ed back in the woods next to our farm; you 'd see him Walking along the towpath with a gallon jar of white l ightning in each hand. Bub Spong lived in a lockhouse; you might say he was a distributor, bottling half- pints for the ne ighborhood . One night we saw a fire down n e a r his house. When they came to put out the flames in_the 'garage , ' t hey found_a-disguised still beh ind the furniture, barre ls of m a s h ferment ing, and a stove distil lery contraption. They tr ied to ge t the fire eng ine in there but it got stuck in the swamp."

Buzz,/(oflicially Lloyd A. Potter) started school in Potomac; he remembers that the school bus was an old Model-T. After World War I the expanding population, children of the doughboys, called for more classrooms and his next school was a 2-room schoolhouse on Wilson Lane. Kids were put into temporary quarters wherever space could be found, so Buzzy put in some time at the Junior Order Building (Macarthur and 79th St) and at the Catholic Church on Vassar Circle in Glen Echo. 'qI~hen the Cabin John-Glen Echo school v'as first built (later Clara Barton), they put the seventh and eighth grades on the second floor. There were holes in the roof, but we just moved the desks around out of the rain and never missed a day."

Cabin John and the Pohtical I.~e o~ Hul~ert Hump]~eq

Recontly Betty Peck now o[ Predericl~ County ~ut a native o~ Cabin John who 8few up, as Bert9 Sipes, in a home on 78~h Street where 0~10 now stancls, showed me a qel]owin{~ newspaper clippin6 o~ an article in the ~l'he MontSome~ Journal" o~ Decem]~r 10,1071 Under the byline o[ Mo~is Fraclin, who ior mantj 9ears was Cabin John's uno~icial historian, the article told how I-Iu]~ert I-Iump]~ey, later to ]:~ecome a Senator/Tom Minnesota ancl then Vice l~resident o[ the United States, decic~ed on a pohtical career w]~e on a visit to Ca]~in Jol~L

It was in A ~ u s t 1035 when the 24-ye~-o ld Humphrey, then a ~ store clerk in South Dakota, made a

vacation visit to his uncle and aunt, Dr. I-tarrq B. and Ohve I-tumphrey who had clesi~necl and built, and were then hvin~ in, the rammed e~th house which still stands at 0 , ~ 7.~th Street. Youn 6 I-Iump]~ey had macle e~her vacation visits to C_~in John and had enjoqecl swimmin~ With his cousins in Cabin John C~eel<, ]~ut this time he went up to Capitol Hill to watch Confess in session. And the~e, as he said later, he had "Jantas ies" oJ what his o w n Juttrre could he.

]=.~coura6ecl h 9 his uncle, Hul~rt set out his vision in a letter home to his ~iuncee, Muriel Buclc ~ trip," he wrote, "has impressed one thin~ on my mincL_I need to do more reachn~, more writin~ and more thinl<~ in~ ~ I ever want to lul~ill ms ~eam ol hein~ someone in this worlcl." ~aybe I seem ioohsh," he went on, "to have such vain hopes and plans, but, ]~ucl~y, I can see how some clay, il qou and I just applq ourselves, we can live here in ~[ashin~ton and prolx~ly be in 6overnment politics or service. [ set mg aim at Congress. Don't lau~ at me. ~at}l)e it does sound rather e6otistical and l~eqoncl reason, but, Muxiel, I do know others have"succdec led . " - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cuziouslq, the " m u d house" also had a another interestin~ con- nection with history. It was sub- sequently occupied hq D~.

boat loaded with sand that had s tar ted up from George town h e a d e d for Hagers town had b e e n s t r anded b e t w e e n Locks 13 and 14. Mr. Potter bought it from the Canal Company , using the sand to build the foundation of a barn, and the boat t imbers to make a b r idge across a s tream. The lantern of the boat is still in Buzzy's possession.

Mr. Potter was one of the founders of the Cabin John Citizens Association in 1919. Buzzy has a booklet giving the By-laws and m e m b e r s h i p of that organization in 1928. Names that still r eve rbe ra t e in ea r ly Cabin John history include Armstrong, Benson, Brann, Claghorn, Godbold , Hoffman, Potter, Ricketts, Sheetz, Smith, Spears, Sullivan, Tomlinson, Tuohey, and Wilkens. Buzzy was e n a m o r e d of motorcycles from an ear ly age . '%Vhen I was 15, my parents said I was too young to have a motorcycle . So I got o n e - i t was a lady's motorcyc le- -and kept it h idden in an orchard on the farm. Finally my father found it and I c la imed it b e l o n g e d to a friend."By the t ime he was 16, he and a fr iend had fo rmed a motorcyc le par tnership, comple te with business le t terhead. "My first sale was a 3-wheel cycle I got somewhere , f ixed up, and sold to Mr. Bonfield who had the g a r a g e on Macarthur at Brookmont. (For 40 years , Mr. Bonfield u sed to whee l that motorcycle out in front w h e n e v e r he was open for business. He would put antifreeze and oil cans on it--it was a grea t attention getter .) My friend and I would buy up any old wrecks or p ieces we could get cheap, put them together , paint them up in bright colors, and sell them to our classmates."

"One of my friends was Austin White; his father had the stone quar ry on Valley Road, off what was then Main Street (now 81 st Street). Another fr iend was Kenny Tuohey. I u sed to run around with the Smith boys, Donald and Beebe, who lived across from the school. We loved to watch the motorcyc le races. We were too cheap to p a y a quar ter to go in, so w e ' d hang around and try to sneak in. We m a d e a pract ice track on our farm; w e ' d take our motorcycles out there and s p e e d around. We rode through the woods and on the towpath; that's when peop le w e r e living along the river, on the o ther side of the towpath. We did some racing ourselves at the tracks. I d r o p p e d out after 3 years , but Donald b e c a m e a real professional racer ."

Buzzy went off to Maryland University, s tudying agriculture, botany, and soil sc ience . Graduat ing in 1939, he got a job mapp ing soils for the Depar tment of Agriculture. About that time, he fell in love with sweet 17-year-old Ginny Bush. Ginny r e m e m b e r s , "Buzzy was friends with my brothers , and Neal and m y oldest b ro ther G e o r g e were in the same gang of fellows. So I had b e e n to the Potter farm once in a while, going along as the kid sister, and I knew who Buzzy was. Then at a New Year's Eve party, he sudden ly not iced me." Ginny's family was a bit skeptical; she was still in high school, he was 6 yea r s older. "But our families knew each o ther and I had

(Continued from page 5) three brothers keep ing an eye on us." Ginny's family had moved to Bethesda from San Francisco when her Army dad was t ransferred here . The Bushes lived on Beech Avenue, off Old George town Road, where they raised goats, chickens, vegetables , and four kids on 5 acres. Girmy and Buzzy still have that land.

Buzzy r e m e m b e r s D e c e m b e r 7, 1941. "Ginny and I were sitting in my '36 Ford convert ible in Rock C re e k Park, holding hands and listening to Sammy Kaye on the radio when we hea rd the announcement of Pearl Harbor. I still have that car." (He's such a romantic guy.) With the war, came a major shift in Federal agency activities and Buzzy's job was abolished. "I had to get pre t ty creative. You could say I worked seasonally. In the winter, I cut and sold firewood; in the spring I took my father's Ford tractor and hired out to plow up Victory gardens; in the summer I was growing and selling vegetables . In the fall I was a motorcycle man; I bought up old motorcycles, fixed them up, and sold them."

1916 Trumbull auto with baby Neal Potter on Conduit Road (Macarthur Blvd.) circa 1916

In 1943, 2 years after she graduated from high school, Ginny marr ied Buzzy and moved into the family farmhouse; that was 56 years ago. They set out for their honeymoon in Mr. Pottei~s car. But a collision with a feed truck just minutes after starting out smashed up their vehicle. V~'artime restrictions p reven ted them from getting another car so the honeymoon was postponed. The following spring, on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with Ginny in the sidecar, they went camping through the mountains of West Virginia.At the end of World War II, Buzzy evolved into the construction business. "A buddy had a job clearing land for builders. We had all this wood. I put together a sawmill using parts of cars, and we started selling finished lumber. We bought 300 cords of wood from Navy surplus. Then we started digging basements for builders; we used our old Ford farm tractor." In 1949 Ginny and Buzzy p icked out a house plan from "Better Homes," h i red a carpenter , and built their own house next to the family farmhouse. Their new house had four bedrooms/ two baths, plenty of room for baby Bill and three sisters who would arrive in the next few years.

"About this time I had seen enough house building and I f igu redanybody could do that. I t eamed up with a partner, John Mathews, in 1950 and we began buying up odd lots he re and there and putting up houses. We built in Bannockburn, Glen Echo Heights, Mohican Hills, and Potomac Overlook." A t rademark of a Potter-built house is a stone front. All the stones came from the old Potter farm acres.

The Potter homestead was about to be dismantled. In 1961 the Maryland State Roads Commission n e e d e d land for the Beltway and the Parkway. Acting under the policy of eminent domain, the Commission c o n d e m n e d chunks of the Potter holdings and took all but 6 acres. "That was land where Indians once lived. When I was a kid, after plowing or a heavy rain, we'd go out and pick up arrowheads. And I've still got them. The contractor hired to clear land for the Beltway intended to raze the Potter farmhouse. "He told me I could have it but I had to get it moved in the next 2 weeks. I looked in the yel low pages until I found a man who would under take the job. He got a lot more than he barga ined for; it turned out the house was sitting on solid rock. He had to ge t two winch trucks and roll it on giant wheels over some pre t ty swampy land. He lost m oney on that, but he stuck to it and moved it 1200 feet to where we wanted it." During the move, Ginny rode in the house.

In 1963, Buzzy and Ginny moved their family to South Glen Road in Potomac where they still live. They (Continued on page 8)

T/E ~L4GE~ 8

bought a large section of land from the Normandy Farms people, and built their house and then other houses in the same neighborhood. The poplar joists in their living room came from some trees next door. In 1972, Buzz 7 retired from building houses because "the r e d tape in Rockville was getting so bad." After that he focused on building garages.

A m o n g old car af icionados, Buzzy Pot ter is at the top of the list. 'Tea_h, I 've b e e n w h ee l i n g and dea l ing cars s ince I was 16. That's w h e n I bough t my first car, a '~.8 Essex, for $5, f rom the minis ter of the Cab in John Methodis t Church, R e v e r e n d Sampson~ I f ixed it up, p a in t ed it b lue and red , and sold it for $P.0, a 300 p e r c e n t profit. My fr iend and I u s e d to walk a ro u n d al leys and w h e n we 'd s ee so m e old car in a ga rage , we 'd k n o c k On the d o o r and offer to c lean out the g a r a g e for $5; we got a fair n u m b e r of t akers and cars that way. Sometimes they wouldn't go for it and as a last resort we would pay $2 for the car we wanted. Model Ts were not valued; I've acquired Model Ts in trade for a pig, a bike, parts of a '24 Studebaker truck. " Over the years, Burry has collected antique motorcycles and automobiles, and built more garages and sheds to house them. Ginny remarks, 'Vehicles keep coming in and nothing ever goes out." He rarely misses an antique car meet or a motorcycle show. His usual companion is his son Bill and now grandson Brian often makes R a threesome. He is in great demand to drive his cars in parades, movies, TV shows and commercials. In nice weather, he and Ginny oRen go for a ride in their dark blue '36 Ford convertible. He's restoring a '35 Ford Phaeton.

Ginny is a crafts artist. All over their house are her handiworks, quilts, hand-braided rugs, all the beautiful things a talented woman fills her rooms with, that attest to 56 years of homemaking. Their daughter Carolyn works at National Geographic and lives with her family in the house on Macarthur that was Buzzy and Ginny~s first house. Next door, in the old Potter farmhouse, is son Bill and his family; Bill is a prototype machinist at Army Research Laboratories. Daughter Marcia lives in Darnestown, and daughter Suzy in Ohio. The Potters have five grandchildren. Buzzy's brother Neal was for many years a Montgomery County council member and County Executive.Two years ago, at a party celebrating his 80th birthday, Burry delighted his family and friends by singing an unaccompanied solo, "America the Beautiful." This is
