September 1994
Harry and I went to Hot Springs, Arkansas to his Navy squardron reunion. There were several men there that he hadn't seen for a long time. We both enjoyed it.
Hot Springs is an interesting town, going back to early 1900 and up to World War II it was famous as a place to go for health problems. The hot water was purported to heal and cure.
There was a high rise doctors' office, plus a hospital for Navy and Army personnel.
After Sulphur [sulfa] and Penicillin was discovered fewer people went there "to take the waters" and the Bath houses fell into disrepair. The National Park (Hot Springs) is trying to perserve them.
We stayed in the Arlington Hotel. It was famous during Hot Springs "heyday" and has been restored and is a great place to stay. 10 stories-We stayed on the 3rd floor-very convenient.
