Dear Editor,
I was reminded of trips to Healing Springs by Tom Poland’s article in the Marlboro Herald, dated May 11, 2023.
I gathered water there for a few years, then forgot about it. So wanting to go again, I took my neighbor with me last week and obtained about 10 gallons. They are all in the two refrigerators and cold.
You will not find sweeter, more clean water. While there, several folks came by with jugs. Everyone is always friendly. I was reminded that one time I was there getting water and a lady came with a jug from a woman she was caring for in Myrtle Beach. But talking to her, she was not convinced about the water.
Joking, I told her I had been drinking a lot of water and look at me. I am 104 years old! She dropped her jug! I laughed and told her I was joking. Maybe the water got me to 90 years old, and this last batch will get me to 95.
I love old tractors and have two that were made in 1938.Maybe I should put some of this water in their radiator.
