It's so spot on...excellent! I was a 4-Her, myself, but the National FFA headquarters are in Indianapolis (of course!), and having had both parents grow up on a farms, plus a grandma who still bakes the occasional pie, well... This story feels like home. Thanks. Being from Indiana myself, I had to keep remembering that this story is fictitious. It’s so spot on…excellent!

You should call my friend Eric Alberta, who is a Hollywood collectibles expert (ex-Sotheby's). He is married to Valerie Hoyt of Christie's, my childhood friend from Memphis. He told the wildest stories and showed me catalogues and tons of stuff when I visited their house in Hudson, NY, last winter. My Sandersons were from Indiana and my father worked on a Salinas ranch, very like East of Eden, for an uncle who had moved West. I loved this story.
