This picture was taken of Ralph and Marion at Mount Vernon on their trip to Washington D.C. when Ralph received his National Heritage Fellowship. The caption of this image in Ralph Stanley's autobiography reads, "Marion and me on the porch at Mount Vernon, wondering where those boots went." The boots in question were the boots that George Washington supposedly gave to Jacob Lurvey, a Stanley ancestor, when he was developing frostbite at Valley Forge.
