This month we have a very special episode for you. Two Grande Dames of the Farms, Kathryn Fleming and Sandra Mellen-Wakefield. They share memories from the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s of the Farms; what it was like living here, and how they helped shape the place we know and love today. From the Burt Reynolds Ranch, to the shopping center and I95 fights, secret buried treasure (still somewhere waiting to be fully excavated) to nudist firefighters – come join us for a revealing discussion of what it used to be like here.
00:48 – What brought them to the Farms?
