This is my grandfather, Alfred Ludwig, with his favorite draft horse.

My family was in the ice business in Connecticut from 1889 to 1944. Originally oxen and draft horses were used to haul ice from the lakes. In the background are two ice delivery carriages and the family’s first truck – a chain driven Mack. The photograph was taken in the mid to late 1920’s. ~ shared by @ludwigdermaler

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” (Little Gidding)
T.S. Eliot

My grandfather, Billy Barnes, loved football and all of the bowl games that took place every New Year’s Day. He reveled in the joy of sportsmanship and fair play. I hope I can convey those values to my family, too. He was a gentle giant. Miss you, #64. ~shared by @rachellacour
