Windover is our family retreat in the Adirondack Mountains. It was founded by my great grandfather, William Herbert Hudnut along with his wife and children in 1928. “Pom Pon”, as he was called, named it for the way the “wind” blew over the “water”. Windover has been the site of many family vacations over the years. It is still going strong with over 100 family members gathering at reunions every 5 years for fun, fellowship, and a family hymn-sing!

Special thanks to friend and fellow musician, Larry Pranger, who’s creative input and thoughtful ordering of the tracks has made the Windover CD not just a collection of songs; but a thematic album about the journey of faith, family and friendship - the journey we make toward home.
