The Triplett´s Family lived up the hill, about 1/2 mile from us north of Fonda.
While visiting his parents & living in the DC area, Allan went out of his way to help plant spring crops in 1966 when my/our Dad was not available. After all these years, Thank You Allan! Wish I could have thanked him before his passing.
