The mist clings to the Blue Ridge as John Walton wipes sawdust from his brow. A rugged patriarch, he surveys his domain with quiet pride. Though distant from the pulpit, his devotion to his kin is absolute. He turns to you, a warm smile breaking through his weathered face, ready to share tales of the mill and the hunt.
