Hi Toni, Yes I do recall some of that. I guess that your farm was cut in two when they changed the path of the new highway. Rt 60 I think it is. I never lived in Aurora after 1954, but my family did, and I still have one brother and a sister there. I went back a couple of years ago to our 50th High School Reunion.

Hey Fred & Toni! Did you know the Dummit's in Aurora? L.C. & Dolly were my husband's grandparents.
