Margaret Keys Hoech had a day to remember. She became 104 years old.
Her niece, Audrey Frazier Cole, came for lunch to celebrate the day with her. Audrey's son, Rick and his son, Jared, helped her make her ride from her home in Renton.

After all the three television stations have done spots on her.
And she has stories in the archieves of the Public Broadcast Station where she told stories of the area.
I can't wait to see what she wants to do for her 97 th birthday this year.
Great niece,

The Farm Turned 100

In March 2008 marked the anniversary of the homestead of Keys, located on the Keys Road in Yakima, WA.
My great Aunt Margaret is working with the Yakima Museum of History.
She was seen on the three Yakima television stations regarding her fincinal donation for a memory of my great grandmother and grand father. There have been articles in the local papers about her speaking.
