Tony & Milly became my surrogate parents when I moved to Northport. I turned to them for child rearing advice, because of thier level headedness rearing their children. If we needed gardening help, Tony was there with anything from tools to a helping hand. Millie would rarely step in my home, but she would sit on the front porch as long as it took trying to show me how she figured out a particular knitting pattern or letting me go through knitting books and sometimes just to chat. One time when I was fretting about not allowing my daughter to do something, yet not wanting to always be the one foil plans, she gently told me that she would quietly listen and say nothing, avoid the topic as long as possible and most often another parent would be the one to say, "No", saving me from alwasy being the one to ruin thier fun. It worked more times than I can recall. They were good, decent people and I will miss them. To the "kids", you were blessed to have such wonderful prents. Cindy Comer
