Year-in-Review: September deaths
Annette Ford was fearless -- in business and in life. She ran a successful ski shop in Avondale Estates, even though she herself didn't ski. In her later years, she would take in homeless people, to her family's great consternation. By 1978, Ford was operating a 3,000-square-foot store with a chalet storefront and nothing but skiwear, equipment and rentals for the slopes. She passed away on Sept. 14. Family photo
