GEORGE THE LLAMA ai
rived for Roy and Lisa Myers at
the Black and White Holstein
Tarm, Rohrerstown Road, Lan
caster, about 11 p.m. Christmas
Eve. Well really, the unusual
Christmas present is George II
because the Myers children had
I a llama named George before,
that many customers of Good’s
Dairy at the coiner of Rohrers
town Road and the 230 bypass
learned to know. But that
George had the misfortune of
getting lockjaw and the medical
team at New Bolton Hospital in
Chester County couldn’t pull
him through.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday. January 3.1970
Of course, George’s death left
a hole in the hearts of the Myeis
children as well as an empty
stall at Good’s Dairy. And since
the misfortune happened only
about a week before Christmas
it was impossible to get a re
placement for George from the
Andes Mountains in South
America, where George’s usual
ly live. So Santa (Charles My
ers, better known as a source
of Holstein daily cows), put in a
call to the Castle on Lincoln
Highway East (Dutch Wonder
land) and found a sympathetic
ear

a veiy few homes have a Chust-

SECOND SECTION
Wonderland said he would let
the Myers children have his
George for Chnstmas because
he had time to order two new
ones for spring when he really
needs the llamas to show the
tourists visiting the County.
And that’s how it came about
that a boy, age 9, and his sister,
age 14, got a llama for Christ
mas. Oh yes, George 11 will be
showing himself off in George
I’s old stall at Good’s soon. But
for now. George the 11am t oc
cupies a box stall at the Black
and White Holstein Farm be
side a fresh cow and her new
born calf.
