Description

This book is about those folks who decided to stay and work here in Saratoga and keep their home fires burning brightly. Its for those who in the spring, hit their home fronts and work places with a fervor. Its as though some rider in Paul Revere fashion had raised the alarm: COMPANY’S COMING!!

The book is for the “New Guys” who have found themselves wanting to be part of the goings-on in one of the craziest, but most fulfilling necks of the woods anyone has had the pleasure to live and work in.
