Falls Photos?
I was disappointed that all 25 waterfalls
named in the May/June issue did not
have photos. Can you do this in a future
issue, please? I enjoy the magazine.
–Jean Clem Bailey, Danville, Ill.
Editor’s note: Perhaps not in an issue,
but readers, could you help us present all
25 at blueridgecountry.com? Please email
your favorite shot, with name, of any of
the falls in the May/June issue to Jeff
Wood at jwood@leisurepublishing.com.
We’ll work toward a full set. Thanks!

Since its inception in 2001, The Farm has matured
into one of the finest communities in the High
Country. Our homes have been praised for their
architecture; likewise, our community for its
overall beauty. Located in the city limits of Banner
Elk, The Farm is easily accessible to stores and
restaurants. While the location is urban, generous
open space including two ponds, a trout stream,
acres of pasture and the outdoor pavillion give
The Farm the serenity of a more remote locale.
The Farm is a very special place to live...

I read with interest the article about Jan
McKinney Conley’s Garden off the Blue
Ridge Parkway at Altapass, N.C. (“From the
Farm,” May/June). My family has a connection to Jan that goes back about 50 years.
My father was the principal at Ledger
Elementary School where Jan attended,
and he remembered her parents also.
My sister Cynthia was one of her
classmates from the first through the
fifth grade. Cynthia told me that she
often stayed inside at recess with Jan
when she couldn’t go out to play.
Cynthia also remembered that she lost a
brother in the Vietnam War. When I was
a student at UNC-A, I rode to Spruce Pine
with Jan. My family moved out of the
Ledger community in about ‘77, but we
can still point out the home where she
grew up. I remember her well and I think
I met her husband once or twice. I hope
he is doing well. Thanks for the gentle
reminder of Jan. I appreciated the article.
