The Amish get wiped out by this and that. Some weeks ago I had an
Amish family here getting some dairy equipment. Herself and I got into
conversation -- she was consoling me over the lost of my husband --
and she told me about several Amish families that had been devastated
when the husbands had been killed in a van accident. Life isn't easy
anywhere, but what a disaster for a close knit community.
