Margaret and Family … At a reunion in the not too distant past I had the pleasure of spending some outstanding time with one of my favorite cousin''s ,T0m. We left the Anthonian and went over to the creek behind Ross ''Inn and reminisced about all the good things about Lewis Run and the wonderful lives that our Family has contributed to this world. I will never forget that day. Hearing Tom''s soft spoken voice and wisdom along with the little creek still making its trickling sound and carving it''s way through the glorious mountains. A beautiful day , indeed. What a great man ! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
