an uptown flair equally in com-
mand in a cave or a condo, a
dining room or a board room --
ready to pour tea in the
Governor's Mansion -- or pour it
on a Governor to get a lair shake
for the State's tourism industry.
She has gone to bat for our in-
dustry in the nation's Capitol
and in Charleston -- often at
great personal sacrifice. By the
shear force of her personality
and determination "doubting
Thomases" have been converted
to the support of West Virginia
Tourism, and wounded warriors
have been picked up, nurtured
and returned to the fray.
It gives me great pleasure to
present the West Virginia Tour-
ism Hall of Fame Award to the
"first Lady" of West Virginia
Tourism, Natalie Austin."

Ms Austin traveled to each of the
following to get it open and set
up personnel -- Kentucky Turn-
pike, Oklahoma and Indiana,
followed by San Francisco Air-
port, Dallas and Los Angeles Air-
ports. The office was moved to
Los Angeles and the name of the
company was changed to "Host
International," there they also
obtained the Honolulu Airport.
In 1968 she purchased the Mar-
linton Motor Inn, which she now
operates.
Ms Austin has been affiliated
with Potomac Highland CVB
