Who are we (and why are we doing this)?
We opened our farm to the public because we want everyone to have the opportunity to visit "grandma and grandpa's farm", even if they do not have a grandparent who owns a farm. This is a "work in progress" and we hope that our visitors will help guide us toward projects and programs that will appeal to the community.Dana Kruser
Dana retired from AT&T Bell Laboratories as a DMTS (distinguished member of the technical staff) with the job-title of "Systems Engineer". She is currently working half-time at the State University of NY (SUNY), College of Technology, at Alfred (in the Information Technology Department) in the winter. In the summer, she focuses on the gardens, the animals, horse-drawn wagon tours and Jim's "To Do" list.
Jim Kruser
Jim retired from AT&T where he was a Business Manager. He currently focuses on forest improvement, building construction/repair and tractor operations (mowing, ditch cleaning, etc). He just finished a portable chicken house (aka the "Chicken Bunker"). The next big projects will include a portable sheep house and a pole-barn for our horse-drawn vehicles.
More Krusers
We have two sons who are grown and moved away. Jeramy and Nathan both work for SUNY at Binghamton in technology infrastructure and support organizations. It seems that if you have a momma geek and a poppa geek, you are blessed with baby geeklets. We could not be more pleased.
Nathan (and his lovely wife, Alicia) have just announced that they are "expecting" in October of 2008 - will that make us a grand-geeks?
