We affectionately called him "Nerd". That was before we knew that the word meant something other than a nickname we made up for him because his name was Leonard.
He was a good neighbor and my dad liked and respected him.
Happy Birthday, Leonard!

Happy Birthday to Leonard Rose
Leonard Rose and his family lived along the same road we lived on when I was growing up. We sometimes caught a ride partway home from school with him when he came to pick up Connie from school. I was in the eighth grade that year and Connie was in the first. I remember that he would come and get the skimmed milk that we saved in a 50 gallon barrel after we had separated the cream off. He would feed it to his pigs, I think. I also remember one awful day when he was rushed to the doctor after getting his hand caught in the corn picker. I believe he lost his thumb that day.
