Edward Heilman and his faithfull dog Flash get the
mail at the end of their long driveway near Tiffin, Ohio.
They were surrounded by corn, which is more than knee high
more than ten days before the traditional farmer's benchmark
-- the Fourth of July. Heilman has lived on this farm for
more than 40 years. His father Alvin Heilman will be 90
soon and still takes care of a small
garden near the house.
