    Feedback: Thanks for bringing back Sam Loren memories

    To ColumbiaMagazine.com

    Thanks, Billie and Terry Farris, for taking such good care of our Grandpa's tree. I can still remember him sitting on the big rock.

    He always whistled and whittled. When Mom got after us we ran to Grandpa. He was most always there under his tree.

    Brings back such good memories of a Grandpa we all loved and who loved us.
