this is a picture of the farm I grew up on, my parents purchased this farm in 1945, and I lived there from when I was born, 1958, until I moved away after college, in the 1980s, my Mother, Ruth Stern, still owned this farm at the time of this picture. all the time I was growing up in Harbor Beach, Michigan, our farm was still referred to as "the Bandemer farm" which was the family who owned this property prior to 1945, it was 80 acres in total. what fabulous memories, to see this from the air, and be able to read the name on the barn, "Thistledown Farms" which is what my Dad named the farm.
