2025 Newsletter A New Home Is Needed
The Brown family (Tom & Merrikay) wanted a home of their design in a more rural setting with some acreage where they could have space to explore and enjoy nature. This newsletter tells of the home construction and an unusual event that resulted in Tom becoming more involved. The house construction was just before Tom started actively searching for old apple varieties.
