Helen's proud mother shared the Ashdown story with the children's grandfather and me. A beautiful story from a beautiful island with considerate, loving people.
An additional bit of information about Miss Helen Ashdown – she is an accomplished horsewoman, winning several medals in a recent Kentucky horse show, riding a full-sized horse and communicating with him magnificently with whispers from her saddle.
Thank you for providing this beautiful experience for our children and grandchildren.
Sincerely,
Marie M. and Cecil S. Ashdown
