life on the f&b station
it was a very rich and rearding experience to grow up at the f b. this experiment station included the swine, poultry, dairy,
and horticulture sections and the residential areas for the chairman of each section.
The hales house and the Sherwoods house were next door to each other at the corner of fb road to each other at the corner
of fb road and the agronomy road. each house was surrounded by nearly 3 acres of partially wooded land- mostly post oak
and yaupon. at our house there was a room for a badminton court, archery range swing sets sand pile and a shetland pony
named checkers. my mother was quite a gardener
