Vol 6, Iss 37Ingersoll, Oklahoma - "I remember the Mantz's very well, but I never heard Mr. Mantz called 'Leonard.'

Raymond was a fishing buddy of my dad's and we went on many outings (fishing, picnicking, sand plum and wild grape picking, etc.) with them when they lived in Alva in the late forties.
