To celebrate, we’ve got lots of unexpected goodies in store (including a free product giveaway this Tuesday …

Little-known facts about Jay:

    • He has many names! According to daughter Glenda, family legend says the name on Jay’s birth certificate was supposed to read, “Ezra Lehman, Jr.” but was reversed to be “Jr. Ezra Lehman.” Because of this he was always known as Junior, or J.E. Lehman. These days he simply goes by “Jay.”
    • He has traveled to 72 different countries, including a long-term missions assignment in Africa in the early 1960s.

  • He has an affinity for old cars – and owns one: a 1923 Ford Model T.

Jay,

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY!!!!

We’ve talked before, but never meet face to face, maybe this August. The Antique Stove Association Convention will be in Wilmot, so I know I’ll be by the store.

Have a wonderful Birthday and Be Safe.

Best Wishes Always,
