Leon “Jake” Jacobs, 87, shovels the walk on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022, in front of the White River Junction, Vt., home where he was born, and where he and his wife Doris, 81, salting at left, used to rent out three apartments. They retired from being landlords around the time Jake turned 80. “Years ago you’d have kids come and ask if they could shovel,” said Doris. “Nobody does anymore.” (Valley News - James M.
