Andy was a kid when his family would come down and visit the Tuttles at Gosport, It made a big impact on Andys life as Bill Tuttle was a huge outdoorsman, also being a fur and ginseng buyer. There would always be a big meal, usually fresh caught fish, and Andys mom Leah would bring her home made Poppy Seed cake. Good Times ! Condolences to the family from Mike and Lois Leeberg
