Pete is one of our three new board members! We’ve asked each of them to provide a valentine to a special place in Pennsylvania.
After over 50 years living around the country, my wife and I moved back to Lancaster County in March. An unexpected benefit has been the beautiful countryside that surrounds our new home in Lititz. While the area to the south towards Lancaster has been developed, the farmland to the north and west is much like it was when we were in High School in the 1960s.
Exploring our new environment helps me to understand why my ancestors settled here 300 years ago and why they never left.
