could-do-anything… that was Tater. “Just seeing that
Tater Pruitt
fanciful farrier truck labeled ‘Horseshoeing By Tater’ made you happy. And you knew when he was hold- ing court at the Town Grille here in Lisbon. “He loved being a
farrier. He loved hors- es. He loved his dogs.
He loved his home, Arden Acres in Marriotts- ville. “Oh–and he loved his 1955 Chevy ‘Baby Doll.’
Loved Baby Doll. “But…above all, he loved his bride Peggy. “And we know heaven is a happier place
now…because Tater is there, holding court. Still smiling–on Peggy and on us all. “T ank you, Tater; we are better for having known you.”
…former foxhunter Rick Quinlan, who lost his four year battle with kidney cancer on February 1. He passed away at home, Sunshine Acres in Brookeville. Rick was a long- time member of the Howard County-Iron Bridge Hounds, and cherished his years hunt- ing with professional hunts- man Alan Forney and Roger Scullin, MFH, continuing to
occasionally road-whip after he had hung up his spurs. Rick is survived by his wife Babara, stepsons Bryan and local farrier Henry Snively, and Bryan’s wife Blair. He was 59.
… longtime Belmont Farm employee Marshall Wisner of Baltimore County, who died on Jan- uary 13. He was 63. A celebration of his life will take place the Friday evening before the Green Spring Valley Point-to-Point. Remem- bers Equiery contributor Regina Welsh: “‘Mushy’ was a real character. I met him when I was 15 years old or so, I’d say. So so many hysterical memories,
from his wild days at
the White Way and Lamplight to getting his driver’s license (even though he had driven all his life without one) to buying a house, getting married, then divorced, taking in his brother and sister, and all the while being Bruce Fen- wick’s faithful employee.... fi xing tractors and making hay for Belmont Farm and delivering it to the community. You could set your watch by the man. I can still hear him yell “pick me up at the corner” into the phone and slam the reciev- er down at the end of the work day, as he summoned his father to pick him up at the corner of Belmont and Tufton. God bless good ole Marshall.
