A neighbor and good friend passed away about 5 years ago. Louie Thie was 96 years old. He fought in WWII but other than that, he lived his entire life here and most of it a 1/2 mile above me on my mountain.

They made men strong back then. At 86, Luie lost a foot because of diabetes, yet that man continued to cut, baled and bring in his own hay up to about a year before his death. That man was a walking history book and if he were alive today, he would likely remember your relatives... it was a small population around here back then.
