If you polled the town of Dripping Springs and asked people to point out an ideal family, the Kellers would surely be in the top ten. This family has lived in this small Texas town for generations. The great-grandparents settled there and established a feed mill, which has been passed down for generations. The name Keller was, and still is, synonymous with honesty and hard work. Shelley and Bruce Keller are an ideal example. They have helped farmers in the area through drought, pestilence, torrential rains and good times. They have given credit to people on a handshake and their word is like money in the bank. People like them, and their young family is an inspiration to the community. Most any gathering, whether it is the county fair or a funeral, will find them there with their two daughters in tow. Shelley and Bruce are fine parents; however their relationship, as this story will illustrate, is in need of some special attention.
