Mark SealTHE MID-NINETIES
Who:ASHLEY JUDD
Where: Nashville
When: May 1, 1996
Why: Country music, home cooking, and her
restored 175-year-old farmhouse made Nashville worth coming home
for.
"Mom always says that we don't need to travel anywhere for holiday,
because we live on a nature preserve. The Natchez Trace Parkway,
which in certain areas borders our farm, is obviously a
continuation of that same lush, gorgeous geography. It strikes me
as being so deeply nostalgic and spiritual, because you can really
feel the history of the people who walked the Trace when they were
migrating. There were outlaws and traders and merchants and
Indians. It's just such a microcosm of American history on this one
trail."
Who: MICHAEL DOUGLAS
Where: Bermuda
When: July 15, 1997
Why: On the island where his family goes back to
the 1630s, Douglas had returned to help run Ariel Sands, his
family's resort.
"My relatives live all over Devonshire. It's just beautiful … with
all these lovely cottages. St. Peter's Church in St. George's at
the far end of the island is the oldest [Anglican] church in the
Western Hemisphere. … My whole family, the Dills, are all buried
there. … It gives me a great feeling of solace and security to go
down to places and see where my mother's family has been
worshipping for 350 years."
