Mystery on Wellington Street Inspires Museum Horse Tale
A quirky Wellington letter recounts a stray museum horse nicknamed Mr Ed tied near Toots Breedlove’s home. The horse, donated in the 1970s, survived an icy crash involving Clyde Drake and Sandy Parsons, then returned to the museum on 15th Street. The note teases future plans and a Saturday barbecue at Ellison Park.
