A few years later, I found out where it was. The Seeing Eye still had <u>two</u> of Buddy’s original leather harness sets. They were not in great condition. Over time, the leather had dried out and everything was brittle and extremely fragile. I spoke with one of the Seeing Eye Field reps, Lucas Frank (no relation to Morris), and Lucas put me in touch with the president at Seeing Eye, Jim Kutsch. I sold Jim on the idea that if he would loan the harness to our museum here at APH, we would have it conserved by a professional. And a few years after that, we would return the repaired harness to Seeing Eye for their own museum exhibit, and pay to conserve the second harness too.</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#606060'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#606060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#606060'>So today, through the generosity of the Seeing Eye, one of Buddy’s original Nashville era harnesses is on loan to us here at APH. It is one of my favorite objects on display. The Nashville name plate dates it to the very first years of the school, before it moved to Morristown, NJ in 1931. By the way, for those of you who don’t know the story, Buddy’s real name, or her first name, was Kiss. Buddy was female. Morris, we are told, did not like the name much and changed it so that he didn’t have to constantly say something like, “Here Kiss! Good girl Kiss!” all over Nashville. A few weeks ago the harness was featured on an episode of<a href="https://aph.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0d9bb2b66f092e599244d8765&id=9184281a0b&e=60d5a56a21"><span style='color:#954F72'>Mystery at the Museum</span></a>.
