I'm not sure why I got an alert about this this week, since the bill will expire tomorrow, but Virginia's two senators introduced a bill in August to rename a rest area on the Mt. Vernon Trail after Peter B. Webster III.
Peter Bridgeman Webster III was an outdoor-loving 15 year old from Alexandria who passed away in June.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the National Park Service Foundation, which raises private funds to expand, protect, and bring more young and minority visitors to our national parks. Peter had explored several of these treasures and looked forward to many more.
The rest area that would be named for Webster is "The rest area bound by Alexandria Avenue, West Boulevard Drive, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway on the Mount Vernon Trail within the George Washington Memorial Parkway" which is here. The area would get a plaque and the plaque would be paid for with donations.
