COLUMBIA — In 1958, Brian Gill and his family moved from their home on East Broadway to one on Westmount Avenue in the Old Southwest neighborhood. Shortly after moving in, he went exploring with his four brothers and their Weimaraner, Fritz. At the end of Lathrop Road, they found woods that, at the time, included the MKT train tracks and Flat Branch Creek.
