A Four Leaf Clover is actually a mutation of the shamrock (a three-leaf clover), it can only happen in approximately 1 in 10,000 shamrocks. 2. The Largest Four Leaf Clover Collection is by George J. Kaminski (b. 1951) who has single-handedly collected 72,927 Four Leaf Clovers since 1995. They were collected from fields within prison grounds in Pennsylvania. 3. According to legend of western cultures, each of the four leaves represent hope, faith, love and luck. 4. The late US President, Abraham Lincoln, was said to have carried a Four Leaf Clover every day except on the night of his infamous visit to Ford's Theater the day he was assassinated. 5. Another way of identifying a real four-leaf clover is that the fourth leaf is usually smaller than the other three leaves. Ladies Night Out Can we hope that winter is finally over?? I think we all are weary of the snow and extreme cold weather and needed a nice night out with friends! Ten ladies appeared at the Pizza Grille on Thursday, March 6th – Wanda Metzger, Diane Brokenshire, Ann Cirillo, Donna Nissel, Deb Yates, Kim Jones, Marianne Troy, Diane Sherwood, Denise Shade and Dottie Badger.
