Went to Spencerport, NY to visit Don and Leslie Ezard on Monday. Don was getting ready for knee surgery the next morning but took us around to show us the area including a great dinner in downtown Rochester at the Genesse Brewery. 

After retiring from the Sheriff's Dept, Don headed up security for the George Eastman Mansion, founder of Eastman Kodak. He was able to take us in for a private tour of this magnificent 35,000 sq ft home including beautiful gardens.  This home was built by Eastman for just he and his mother. It was such a treat to get to see this. Does anyone know how Kodak got its name?  George wanted something to go with Eastman that was short so he took the 'K' from his mother's name and put it on the front and back of the word trying out letters to fit in between and finally came up with Kodak.
