“”Miss Chris” was my childhood idol and one of the biggest influences in my life. I went to Camp Bittercreek from the time I was 12 years old until I was 18. She taught me everything about horses and her influence is still with me today. She was a legend in her time and in the horse world. She taught myself and many other kids how to ride and how to be safe around horses. She was also an amazing artist. What an amazing lady! Much love to Connie and family.
Chris will never be forgotten. Her love for horses & teaching children was talent that no one can deny. I always loved to hear her amazing horse stories & was also amazed how accurate the name, dates & times were always right on! RIP Chris.
I have many wonderful memories of Chris and Leon as she taught me to ride and he trained my horses. May their memory be a blessing. Charles C. Crumpler, M.D., Asheville, N.C.
