Wow.. you must have seen me running around there. I am Ron's son. I was born in 62. Yeah Grandpop was a good man. He was very generous and loved working with the land. It was a good character building job and a great way to grow up. I just wish it was still there so that I could show my kids what it was like.

thanks
