The Maggard family¹s motto has been "leave the land as we found it" ever since they established their home on Magnolia Avenue in 1952. Pride in the neighborhood and careful custody of the land have been cherished family values whether camping or at home. So it¹s no surprise that Dorothy recently urged her son, Grady, to help the neighbors clean up the litter surrounding a recently vacated home slated for demolition. He spent two days clearing the lot of accumulated discards by storing them in the garage until demolition day, and removing toxic materials from the property. This is not the first time Grady has quietly surveyed a demolition site in Barron Park to remove toxic materials before the bulldozing began.

Many of us neighbors felt he brought dignity to the old house in its final days. Our thanks to both of you, Dorothy and Grady.
