Membership
My dad, Robert, grew up on a small family farm in rural
Illinois, the youngest of seven children. His father, Dwight, raised
Appaloosas; they were especially proud of the stallion that they bred
and raised, Washburn’s Appach, who Dad always called "Apache."

Dad lost his dad when he was just a boy, at age 14. Dwight's membership in an Appach's registration with the Appaloosa Horse Club was especially important to my dad. He often talked about it.
