You can thank former colleague and friend Ed Garten for this post. What follows is taken from two emails sent to me from Ed:
John, I was up in Dearborn this past weekend and walked into the Scotch Settlement School in Greenfield Village (as you know the actual school in which Henry Ford attended elementary school).
they have a new "exhibit" in the rear of the school. Seems there is documented evidence that Henry sat in the rear, the second seat from the rear and they have the seat in which he carved his initials -- an odd way to carve H F --written as one joined letter. See the attached photo I took of the knife-carved initials that they have under a sheet of plexiglass.
