Bob started farming for his grandfather, James Mickleberry Elkin, in the early 1960’s and worked at Bundy Tubing 36 years before retiring in 1993. Pat worked at Square D Co. in Lexington and at the Lexington-Blue Grass Army Depot before retiring in 1997.



Their children and grandchildren are scattered from the East to West -

Their favorite things are having family “Porch Parties” in the summer starting with Easter in the spring with a big Easter egg hunt for all the children. The children get a wagon ride while the guys get to hide the eggs for the little ones. Their wintertime favorite thing is sitting in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace being lazy.
