Some people leave their mark behind as they journey through life,
and allow everyone to reap the benefits.
Some people touch lives even of those they never meet.
Some people simply give life, and history, to everything that their lives touch.
That describes my parents, David and Jane Grandstaff.
They have been setting benchmarks for years, but in 2000, they became the reason for a new Benchmark. In 2000, Steve and I along with my sister Penny and her husband Rick, honored their rich history of giving by placing a bench and a Gingko tree at the North Manchester Public Library. It now also serves as a great reason for a yearly photo to benchmark our lives.
