Last week I was visiting with Vince Enenbach, and during our gabbing session he mentioned that his friend and classmate, Keith Escher, had passed away sometime last year.
Then ironically, Keith's oldest sister contacted me about some Escher farm history so I asked her for some information and she sent me a few pictures to add to what I had of Keith.
