Flashback Friday: Remembering Leonard Orlando

This week's Flashback Friday leads us to the Crivitz area.

We received an email earlier this week and that's what triggered our Flashback Friday.

It's from the grandson of a man we featured in a story in 2010.

At the time of the story, 95-year-old Leonard Orlando was just retiring from farming.

Orlando bought a farm in the Crivitz area more than 60 years ago.

His grandson Dan tells us Leonard died earlier this week.

Dan goes on to say having the story on TV back in 2010 was the highlight to his grandfather's year. Saying that getting that much attention so late in life was pretty incredible.
