TV TIME: “Have been enjoying the RTS comments about the flood of
1942. Perhaps you can inform your readers that I will have some
1942 flood pictures of Johnsonburg that will appear on WPSU-TV.
These will appear under the segment of flood control dams.”

That’s the note we received from Wilcox native Mike Schultz. The
program will air at 7 p.m. March 19. Some of you may have already
seen it – “Things That Were But Aren’t Anymore” which first aired
last night.

Mike adds, “Bradford will be featured in another section
regarding Pony League Baseball. Plus I tell a great story on Rube
Wadell, a Bradford native, whom my grandfather saw pitch in
Butler.”

“Another segment is on the building of the Kinzua Dam and
Reservoir.”

So tune in…

LEO J. KLEIN: We’re looking to our Elk County readers for help
on this one. We received a request for information on a Leo J.
Klein of Wilcox who apparently was a wood carver of some
repute.

Our request originated with Bob Duncan, a former Era editor who
is now affiliated with Wood Carving Illustrated, an East
Petersburg, Pa., publication. In turn, he received the request from
Jeff Bobrofsky of Battle Creek, Mich.:

“We’re looking for information on a man named Leo J. Klein of
Wilcox, Pa. I have a carved wooden turkey signed by Leo on the
bottom of the base in excellent condition. My sister bought it at
an antique store in Florida and sent it to me as a gift. I have
located two pairs of LJK turkeys on the web for $4,450 and $3,850
respectively. What is the significance of the set, if any?

“May I assume my individual turkey is worth $2,000 or more?
Thanks in advance for your response.”

If you have any information, let us know and we’ll pass it along
to Bob. Mr. Klein must be quite an artisan to get that kind of
price for his pieces.

SIGN OF TIMES: Who knows how long “spring” will last but we’ve
been receiving some encouraging news from readers. Ron Housler of
Lantz Corners called Sunday to tell us he’s had hundreds of
red-winged blackbirds, about 20 robins and a few killdeer in his
yard. Robins were also reported by Ruby Treat of Bradford who had
heard its welcome song that morning. “It sounds like spring,” she
said.
