In places like Coolspring, Pa., and Dublin, N.H., Lee Pedersen had a recognizable face among antique power enthusiasts.
He knew his way around a gas engine, folks around the hobby will tell you, and for decades he’d participated in trade shows up and down the East Coast imparting his knowledge.
If you bought a machine part from him at places like Pioneer Park or Jacktown Grove, odds are he treated you like an old friend.
