Carolina that produced row crops and cattle. She still resides on the farm, which has been placed under a conservation easement
and is devoted primarily to timber production and wildlife conservation. She is a lifelong horsewoman with a special love
for dressage and breeding. Her other interests range from gardening, raising orchids, and needlework to environmental and
