Kinzua's population, as
most area towns, was swelled
this week by the arrival of
former residents, friends and
relatives to take part in the
annual deer hunt. Among the
former residents were Ken
Sewell, Herb and Mike Luper,
John Nelson, Mike Nelson,
Bob Zimmerman, Robert Reid
and Grady Rogers.
It was good to see so many
old friends and neighbors. I
don't know how much luck the
others had but I was so
pleased to see Grady get a
nice buck opening morning. It
has been a year or two since
Grady has been able to go
hunting due to a couple heart
attacks and heart surgery.
The Lupers were guests at
the John Weaser home as

The step from working on
an oil refinery in Iran to
setting up a new business in
Lexington would be a big one
for most people, but Mike and
Leora Kane are taking it in
stride.
The young couple came to
Lexington in August from a
seven-month stint in Iran , via
San Franscisco, their former
home, loaded with Iranian
artifacts and much determi
nation. They opened M & L
Refrigeration for business on
September 12.
Mike worked for the Nation
al Iranian Oil Co. Esfahan
Refinery which he said is the
world's largest grass roots
refinery. There is no foreign
ownership of oil in the
country; all belongs to the
Iranian government.
According to the Kanes,
Iran is still very primitive
except in isolated industrial
pockets, natives live much as
they did a thousand years ago.
While they lived in Esfahan, a
city of over a million in
Central Iran, the Kanes most
enjoyed visiting different Baq
tiari villages, hunting for
antiques in bazaars.
Among treasures found by
the Kanes in their antique
hunting excursions are silver
Arabic coins, from 300-500

Mike and Leora had lived in
San Francisco for eight -or
nine years before making
their Iranian trek. Leora was
employed as a data processing
supervisor, while Mike had his
own consulting business in
addition to working as a
factory engineer for Freezing
Equipment Co., a York, Penn
sylvania, based firm.
Mike's experience provides
the foundation for M & L
Refrigeration. Service work
and repair on refrigeration,
heating and air conditioning
equipment is the back bone of
the business with minor pump
and small motor repair as a
side line.
For Leora Kane, the move
to Morrow County is a
homecoming. The daughter of
Bill and Gladys Van Winkle of
Lexington, she was a 1965
graduate of Heppner High
School. Mike, raised on a
Colorado ranch and familiar
with small town life, said he
thought he was actually hav
ing an easier time adjusting
than his wife.
As a powerful motive for
'putting down roots', the
Kanes are expecting their first
child in April. Leora com
mented, "Starting a business
and starting a family at the
same time you might as well
jump in with both feet."
