Nino,
Thank you for showing me how to be a farmer. The importance of record keeping, equipment maintenance, planting a seed, and how to care for that seed all through its life. With those lessons I think you were secretly showing me more than just how to be a farmer. I carried those lessons over to my career and my own family. Thank you Nino, for the life lessons you taught me. Love you!!
