I live about an hours drive from the blue ridge mountains and yesterday my wife and a couple of friends and I went by Critz Va and visited the old estate of the Reynolds family. It was built in the 1800s. When I was in my teens we were calling on Patrick county as an unassigned territory and Critz was in that county. The Reynolds family was still alive back then and living in the old house and we called on them. It's a historic site now and you can visit the house with all the old furniture etc. It originally had 5,000 acres back during the civil war. We enjoyed it. The Reynolds were rich and his son started the Reynolds Tobacco Co, in Winston Salem, NC. It was 55 years ago when I was a JW working that terrirory. I have a lot of good memories from back then with my family. Almost all the ones I was with back then are dead now. The three who I can remember who are alive from then are no longer JWs.
