Voices of Stafford

Richard lives in the house where he was born right along Jefferson Davis Highway in southern Stafford. His family history is rich with old line Stafford family names and he with his two younger brothers grew up in an earlier time. The home farm was a top notch dairy operation with fine blood lines at a time when milk cans were set on the highway for pickup by the milk truck. Electricity came early along US Route 1 and replaced the old spring house used for refrigeration. Richard speaks of the contrast which existed before WWII with the recent rapid growth through out the county. (42 minutes)
