When I think of Muriel Townes I picture her in an apron standing in front of the stove with 10 gallons of maple tree sap boiling on the stove. No wonder Norman Rockwell lived down the street. We are all sorry for you loss and hope all is well with everyone. When you come to Louisa, remember we are not far away. Call, email come say hello in there.
