I loved the wonderful reminiscence from Marcy Hafner (“Growing up on the Farm,” The News, June 28, 2018). One cannot open any paper or news magazine these days without a visceral response to all the negativity and uncertainty in the world.
I truly felt refreshed after soaking in her memories, much in the same way Fiestaware must have felt to those experiencing World War II; a temporary escape by adding some color to life.
I want to thank Ms. Hafner for taking the time to share her story. I imagined while savoring her words that I was sitting across from her at a kitchen table listening and wanting to hear more. As a registered nurse and having cared for many notable figures , I appreciated her memory of Aunt Alberta and Albert Einstein!
I will be sure to stand at the corner of Edinburg and Village Road East and try to conjure in my mind what her farm may have looked like.
I’m glad she had fond memories of her life in West Windsor and hope her childhood family and farm visit her often, in her dreams.
