Jamie Steele

HI Deb, here are some pics that I sent Kerry Rose of the saw that was needed to get thru the old FM oak. If he has not sent you the stuff he is doing, I can forward it to you. The deal is that when some guys were trying to fell the dead oak in front of Wellwood, their chain saw was not long enough. I had stopped by to watch in sadness, and offered the old saw I got out of Mildred Hunt's trash years before. Mildred family owned all the land that Hunt Lane, Foxwood and I think your old neighborhood too. It was all part of the Hunt farm, the house of which is where Charles Edwards has lived for decaced, just a bit towards Manlius from Hoag La. Mildred's house was next to the farm, and the front quarter of her house was the old toll house that sat up on the road when it was a toll road. That's why the bus fare changed at Hoag La. She was a very nice lady, and we were good friends over the years. More to the story, but maybe you have already heard it. So here are some pics Kerry wanted of that old saw. Maybe I can bring it to the reunion! Jamie.
