I am a neighbor of Beulah and Ron and loved the train rides and especially fond of Pepper. Ron told me once that Beulah let him get a quad only because then Pepper could get rides with Ron. That is so much fun to see them going up and down the street together. Thanks Beulah and you will be missed. Mary Covington
