Maybe someone from your group can help me. I am looking for a house we lived in during the 1950s. It was a large two story with a wall surrounding it. I think it was white. An artist and his family owned it. We lived on the top floor when my stepfather was stationed at the US military base. The gentleman who owned it was such a dear man. He would take me for walk on the esplande and we even walked along the golf course. My mother and I loved shopping and taking tea in the local shops. My Prestwick time is the best of my life. It is indeed my favorite place in the entire world. Hope someone can help me find out more about the house and owner. Love seeing the old photos of Prestwick. Cheri Gardiner, Beulah, CO
