    Robert and Allan,

    My condolences on the passing of Your Sister,Bette Fagan-McKnight.

    I remember your family from when you lived on the farm.

    Fond memories of skiing on Fagan’s Hill.

    That hill is now completely covered with trees.

    My Brother Bill still lives on the Family Farm.

    Bill also owns the Ton and Racy Simon Farm.

    Mother Margaret passed away in April of 2017.

    Dad, Bob, passed away January,2002

    My best to you !
