What really upsets me today is how so many of my generation dont even know who Mrs. Dodge was. Never even heard of Giralda Farms. A long time ago, (around '94). I was working for Mark and Sally George, professional handlers. Mark used to work for Barb Bartos up at Carnation Farms and bought a "bunch of stuff" from him when he started out. One day, we were cleaning out the barn when Mark and Sally got out of Paint and Quater Horses and in the corner was an old wooden crate, heavy, about the size of a good 400, and on the side, it said, "Giralda Farms"... Man I wouldve given my eye tooth to have it, but when Morris and Essex started back, it just seem fitting to donate it back to them. Im sure Mrs. Dodge was smiling about that.
