Summers with John Post Reynolds and Archie's Lab
The narrator recalls a summer meeting with John Post Reynolds and Gertrude’s son Archie Hawks at the Reynolds home. A friendship grows through visits to the mill and a chemistry workshop, where experiments with lime light and turning lathes spark Archie's dream of making his own water mill.
