I'd never heard the horse-furnace story! Would have to be in Massachusetts or New Jersey, I imagine. You guys are too kind. I’d never heard the horse-furnace story!

Seems like I read of this occuring in the Washington/Green Co., PA area. In a history book, or memoir? Bizzar. Anyway, like Shannon says, 'you never cease to amaze me!' I'm betting you'll still find time to entertain and educate us while gainfully employed. Wasn’t there a Leonard [Iron Leonard] who drove his horse and rig into a furnace?

My grandfather Orlin Merl Leonard always said that he wanted to live until 90 years. He turned 90 in August and died in November. He also said that he wanted no flowers because they smelled like a funeral home. All his friends had already passed and there was no one left but family. His father Hiram Ezekiel died at 85. Yep those Leonards do indeed have longevity. Rick,
