So today we went to the Waterford High School for DOT 10 training and I had told everyone that my mother Sheila Geiling used to be known as Sheila Ford lived down there. When I told my parents about this they told me a little about our family history. Not only does my moms family still live all around there but the town Waterford was actually named after my moms grandfather. He was one of the largest farmers down there. When he died we sadly didn't get to inherit any nor did we get the chance to buy any of the land. But as you can see agriculture runs deep in my blood
Also he told me about how they got marred near the smoke stacks. Those smoke stacks have a large play ground/communitie area where we have our family reunions. I would love to go down there to a museum and try to learn more.
