Mr. and Mrs. Dixon were my neighbors. They were both great people, great mentors,and my first employers as a child. I was in charge of watching their plants when they went on vacation. Inside plants and beautiful outside gardens. Great people! Mrs. Dixon, I'm sure you and Mr. Dixon are happy to see each other again!
