WADDY ƒ An article on the Neighbors cover on March 28, about the Charles Todd House, left Waddy Trackside unclear several facts about that historic home. The current owners, Lawrence and Sherry Jelsma, sold their dairy operation in 2011, but that did not include any of the land. The portrait of Letitia Todd in the home is not the same Letitia Todd who was the home’s original owner. She is her daughter, but they shared the same name. In addition, the herb garden was put in by the Jelsmas, but the garden’s sidewalks are original.
