I’ve driven through that area a fair number of times when

I had work to do in the general area. When I was a kid in the 50’s a friend of mine from the Duffield area resided in our neighborhood in Charlottesville for a couple of years. His father was one of the construction managers when U Va did a major expansion of their hospital in the late 50’s. His name was Dude W. Bowen, nicknamed Bo. Had a younger sister, but don’t remember her name. They owned a farm near Duffield. If Bo is still alive he would be around 75 years old now. Last time I did some work in that area, about 8 years ago, I believe he and his father were still “kicking”.
