I happen to know Lydia Ratcliff, and the two of you managed in only nine minutes to capture important elements in her rich and generous life. May other farmers find encouragement in her words, and may she inspire many to follow in her footsteps. A great job, both of you! Bob Kudos to you Jenny for yet another superb interview.

I've passed by the farm for about 46 years. Now I feel I can stop the car, pull off the road, knock on the door and sit down and tell Lydia how much I admire her. For years I've seen her on a tractor haying the large fields on the North side of route 11, long white hair staying put somehow. Cornelia Thanks Jenny for the peek at Lydia.
