I have childhood memories of your father planting flowers on the side of your house on 7th Avenue every spring. I was so intrigued to see how he took such pride in his garden. I also loved the tractor tire swing he hung from the maple tree. He was a great influence to me when I was too young to realize it as I am a now professional gardener. Great memories of all of you, too! Thanks to your Dad.
