You are the reason they stayed

Dear Editor:

I want to give a very sincere “thank you” to so many people in the Saratoga-Encampment area, and even beyond, for all the kindness and friendship extended to my parents, Ardyce and Maynard Hoem, over the many years they lived and worked in the valley. They are certainly missed by the family, and I am sure there is someone out there today who would enjoy just one more visit with “Buck” about some work horses or rainbow trout, or lone last cup of coffee with Ardyce while visiting about a new quilt, or maybe about her varied experiences while working many years for the REA.

Saratoga...
