I believe I have heard that name in our neighbourhood. I live on the outskirts of an Amish community in Ontario. There are at least three Amish with dwarfism in this area that I have seen. I can't recall the fellow's first name but I believe he is the only Amish fellow in our area to own a pig because he likes his bacon in the mornings.
