Dear Upbeat: I know you’ve had people from as far away as China, but perhaps, Georgia is far enough to be exciting. My husband and I visited our Army son and family at Ft. Benning. We found time to read and laugh with Upbeat Times while we were there! Patrecia Graham & John Mills, Petaluma, CA.

A LIFE IN THE VINEYARDS

From generation to generation, we’ve been committed to agriculture — and you — since 1916.
