every county office in the organi
zation. She was also state treasurer
for three years.
Through all her years of involve
ment with Farm Women, Dorothy
is convinced that the organization
is one of the best around. She said,
“I think you will find that Farm
Women members are generous,
outgoing, and willing to help
others. I made lots of new friends
through working with county and
state members.”
Adams County has two societies
with 25 members. Dorothy plans to
change that She sqjd. “I want to
form a new group this year. The
southern and western end of
Adams County is not represented
in our organization. 1 think it is our
fault because we haven’t been get
ting the word out to them.”
Through other agricultural
related groups, Dorothy is now
telling them about Farm Women.
“There seems to be interest in
forming a new group,” Dorothy
said. Interested persons should
contact Dorothy at (717)

Dorothy and her husband have
been married S 3 years.
“It’s been a good life,” she said.
Their secret to S 3 years of married
bliss according to Dorothy is “Put

living by his teachings.”
She added, “Think positive, talk
things over, be able to see the other
person’s point of view, and appre
ciate others.”
The Caskeys have 9 children, 29
grandchildren, and 19 great grand
children. Having so many family
members have enabled the
Caskeys “to see a lot of answers to
prayer. I know that God answers
prayer if you just turn it over to
Him,” Dorothy said. “We waited
16 years for one prayer *to be
answered.”
Dorothy and her husband John
farmed until 16 years ago. They
now live on a comer of the firm
that was turned into a fruit farm by
the new owners. This is the first
year that Dorothy has retired from
packing fresh' fruit for 19 years.
She enjoys making crafts. With her
husband, Dorothy enjoys a lot of
camping in their motor home. This
past year, they camped on the
to visit a daughter in Kentucky and
another in Michigan.
Most of her activities involved
church work and Farm Women
meetings.
“Farm Women are always look
ing for ways to help the needy in
our area,” Dorothy said.
The group makes peanut butter
and coconut eggs to sell at bazaars.
They hold an annual hoagie sale
and some personal money raisers.
One of these was a calendar for
Farm Women members. Each day
on the calendar was marked with
such things as "Put two cents in a

if you drank more than three cups
today.”
Although the calendar proceeds
were not huge, members thought it
was a lot of fun and the money did
help with needs in the community.

Dorothy often makes for her
