Hello,You most likely don't have a clue as to who I am,But I live at the bottom of the hill of your house on Sawmill Hill Rd.I would see Esker sometimes when he was up at the Mom and dads place.When I was a little girl My Dad would take wood up to Mr and Mrs Akers,I would alway go along.Eskers Dad taught My Mom ,her sister and her brothers in school so they were around Esker quiet a bit back then.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
