I am sorry to hear of Hilda's death. I remember visiting Hilda and Buzz many, many years ago. My father, John Cooper, spoke often of the Kindrick "boys." And he was proud to have them part of the Dairy Hall of Honors in Columbia. My father, who died in 2000 and lived in Ozark, Mo, was a cousin to Buzz Kindrick.
