Always sad to hear something like this. Hope they can recover.

Very tragic situation. They were winding down their operation and this may be the final straw. Longtime horsepeople from the State of Michigan and Lee is a member of the Hall of Fame. Thoughts and prayers are with them.

Denna Sattelberg wrote this story of her grandfather Ernie Sworthwood (http://www.mi-harness.net/Mich/hist/eswrtwod.html) for the for the September 2004 Mi-HHA magazine. I had previously peppered the article with a couple of dozen content links, however my website is currently in the process or reactivation it's been necessary to remove the non-active links.
The Sattelberg's have lost Lee's half-decade of harness racing equipments and tools (likely even his colors).
If you enjoy this article they are in dire need.
What every you may give (even a dollar) would be greatly appreciated.

The Dec 1975 Ken McCarr article on Emily Ellen (http://www.mi-harness.net/publct/hb/emilyelln.html) is a good example (McCarr frequently wrote in mysteries and the reader did not realize his focuse until the articles end). I've added six other pics of Emily Ellen from other periodicals.
The March 1973 HB's article on Ed Keller (http://www.mi-harness.net/publct/hb/edkllr.html) (with photo's from Ed Keys) was mostly focused on then recent pics of Mr. Keller and when he was older.
My original scans of those 1973 pics resulted in terrible quality. In any event I've added seven pics from earlier periodicals, three of which are Hildy and Ed together.
In the event that anybody has difficulties accessing these links, they should contact me via the email link on the left side of this submission.
FWIW, nearly all these 1930s and 1940s Hoof Beats and Harness Horse magazines that I've been working on for some while, were originally owned by Ed Keller.
