I had a grand time sharing the beginnings of Heifer International with the residents of the Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville, Ohio, last week. The Southern Ohio Heifer Project Committee was a big player in those beginnings. In return, many of the residents shared stories of their own involvement.

Peggy Reiff Miller invites Ivan Patterson to share his experiences as a seagoing cowboys in 1945.

A book signing for residents followed.
