My parents, Lloyd and Mary Kester, were longtime friends of Ken and Edna. I have many memories of the farm and Kay, Paul, Ed, and Bob. And the collie, chickens, pigs, and those big hairy cows! Ed was smart. It’s good to hear he found a good life. May he now rest in peace. My thoughts are with the family.
