I know it has been years since Graydon's passing. I am sorry to see this. I knew him when he lived in Troy VT and I worked with Ann. I went to the house and saw all of her beautiful dolls. I am hoping that she is doing well. I tried to return an item Ann let me borrow, but the Barre address wasn't correct and the item was returned to me. If anyone knows where she is, Please have her call me. They are both dear people. My sincere sympathies on the loss of Graydon. My husband thought of him as a friend also.
