Abbott "Pete" Smith D.V.M. June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010 |
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017), including his wife Jody (1938-2021).
"To go back is impossible in existence. The river
needs to take the risk of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear."
Khalil Gibran
Fifty years ago today, on Monday, January 3, 1972, Jody wrote in her daily journal:
Cleaned house
Cleaned up old school desk for book display stand
Took pups down to clinic, had 3rd DHL shots
The day was probably like today, a normal day in January. If we could go back and visit with Jody, we would find her caring for her dogs, horses, and family. Fifty years ago. Seems like a long time, but Jody's words have not faded. Here's more...
