In a February 11, 2008, article, she wrote, "I know part of why Janice and Henry may have wanted to live in this valley the beautiful sunsets, the fog lifting off the pond in the mornings, the ice forming on the pond in the winter, the wildlife coming to drink in the pond and at the springs, the peaceful quiet nights with only the frogs croaking to break up the silence, the fresh clean smell of the morning, and even the steady winds that creak the house and sway the trees. Board member Gayla Baker is stepping in as treasurer and continues to be the Knifley link to the Giles House just a few miles from her store, Baker's Grocery.Susan Lewis will move onto the advisory board of the society and continue her support long distance.
