  • Notes 
    • Told Jack about the ice boats he made while growing up at Lake Mohansic.

      He played the numbers with the popcorn vendor, who had a monkey (Jack says he didn't like the monkey, it bit him.)

      John Horton would take Jack to A. Moon's Grocery store on Central Ave., who had a candy cabinet. It would take an hour to pick out a pennys worth of candy.

      "Grandpa Horton was out back, digging a row of small holes to plant his vegetables. He was too old to make bending over easy. The cat went behind him, covering in the holes he made. When he got to the end of the row, he turned and saw what had happened. His daughter Verna witnessed the event and was laughing in the upstairs window. I can still hear Grandpa yelling "Damn you, Verna, you saw the whole thing! Why didn't you say something!" - Jack Coon, July 2007
      The rest of the story: "Grandpa Horton had a 50 gallon drum full of water and manure. This was the fertilizer for his garden. He called it 'rose water'. Apparently, as he dug the holes to plant his vegetables, he would add a small scoop of the 'rose water' before planting. No wonder the cat was covering the holes!" - Jack Coon, Nov 2007

      "Grandma Horton baked bread for the family and Grandpa Horton made a special miter board to cut the bread into even slices for her." - Jack Coon, Jan 2008

      "John Horton worked for his son-in-law Louis Coon at times as a carpenter. Grandpa Horton always kept his tools sharp. He had very simple tools. He'd be in one room of a house, trimming it out, one foot up, talking and working. Louis would be in another room, working like hell. At the end of the day Grandpa would be done, but Louis would still be working. They kidded each other alot." Jack Coon 2008
