Daughter Cindy and her husband Dave purchased the farm from them. Tom and Lois have an apartment in the house, and Tom likes to help occasionally with the horses. Cindy breeds and shows quar- ter horses. Lois and Tom often can be found at the Acton Centre. Lois is on the Friday Lunch committee and Tom helps set up.
