“I’m glad that beep's not wasted,” said Leon Hale. He would barely beep the horn of his blue truck as he went by on his daily mail check to town, and one time we told him we enjoyed hearing that. “There goes Leon!” we always used to say. He was very much appreciated in our area and getting a little beep was special. When Leon was away from his country place we would miss that beep. It was part of the day. But today, Saturday, March 27, 2021, Leon headed down a lone dusty road, his last blue highway. He left behind many people that hated to see him go, like us here at the farm. But Leon also left behind some magic, and out there on the quiet road a little beep might yet arise someday, “There goes Leon!”
