The lady's, (sisters I think) running the rooming house were in their eighties. The house..hardwood floors..mahogany trim..etc was spotless.

Leigh invited us up to the Wolfeboro Inn for breakfast...."On The House." NB

PS; When Ice Boating..he always wore something that looked like a Bearskin Rug.......most imposing....
Leigh turned out to be quite the character. I grew up with him, he lived in our neighborhood. Actually he and I were the two babies in Huggins Hospital together so we go back that far. I couldn't believe he died so young.
