When I was a little girl our family would "vacation" at the Griffin farm in Milford. When your family went away on vacation, our family would move out to the farm for a week or two and take care of the animals and chores. Your farm was my introduction to horses, never let your brother (1 1/2 years older than me) saddle your horse or the saddle will slip and before you know it you will be riding bareback! Also learned about cattle - run after you bang on the feed trough, Shetland ponies are mean, chickens don't like their eggs taken away from them and electric fences hurt! Wonderful memories! My Mom, MaryJane, who passed away in December of 2007 and my Dad, Wes, who passed away in March of 2008 thought the experience would help us grow - boy did it. Your parents were great friends of my folks, I think mainly through Kappa Kappa Gamma, but am not sure. I know they talked of them fondly and were thankful for their friendship. Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your Father.
