Akst: Honoring one who gives so much

Men should be more open about feelings, we hear, so I hereby publicly declare my love for Henry.

“Henry” is our Snapper 7-horsepower, two-stage, self-propelled snowblower. He’s been in our lives about 12 years and is an important member of our family.

I don’t remember exactly why I named our snowblower Henry, but I think it had something to do with imagining how Henry Ford felt when he first produced a great machine.
