"Don McMahon[later shot down and killed in Italy] and I were invited to dinner the other night at the Marshall's in Milfield. They run the post office and general store - very nice people. The Marshall's home is a great gray stone building over a hundred years old. The outside walls are three and a half feet thick, the inside ones are two feet. Today it looks as good as new and likely shall for several hundred more years. I know the local hostel does, and it's upwards of three hundred years old. We visited long after blackout before a large fireplace (hearth, cat, tea kettle, and all) learning much of the local history and surroundings."
