I learned of the passing of John Shisko (in May 2010). He and Belle were old family friends. John and my father worked together in New York City (quite a distance and "attitude" away from his later farming days). My Mom and I read this and were immediately taken back - you characterize John to a "t". I loved the sea and collecting shells as a child (and still today as an adult!). Just as he overloads you with plants and products - he would send me packing with boxes and boxes of shells - much to my Dad's chagrine. Anyway, quite the character. We lost touch with them after my Dad's passing in 2001. I would love to hear more stories from you - and would be happy to share stories we have - that go back to the 1960s through to 2000. Best regards... Chris from New Jersey Hi,
