Courtesy of the Edmund W, and Jeannik Littlefield Foundation "At some point in time the Hankes were interested in showing horses," Littlefield reminisced. "My mother ended up with a three-gaited mare called Richelieu's Dream, who was, in her day, the finest horse in the State of Utah. I remember one particular incident when I received the Wentworth Cup, which was presented to 'The outstanding student in the lower school for scholarship and good conduct at Tamalpais School.' It was a cup about six inches high. 1 was so proud!" Ed took the train back to Ogden and arrived at the horse show "just in time to see my mother showing Richelieu's Dream. She won the class and she accepted the blue ribbon and circled the track. She handed me the blue ribbon and the silver cup. Later on that day she won the 'Best of Show' and handed me the cup. In addition, she and my stepfather won 'Best Pairs.' "All of these silver cups were about five times the size of the Wentworth Cup. Finally I brought out the little Wentworth Cup and showed it to her. She said, 'The difference is that you won this. All these cups and trophies were won by a horse!'" Joe Hanke prospered during the 1920s, investing in stocks and in real estate. "In the late 1920s my stepfather bought some shares in the UCC," Littlefield related, "a $10,000 investment, which was a substantial block of stock. He attempted to tell W. H. Wattis how to run the company. "W. H. was a tough nut and didn't take kindly to my stepfather's advice. In a huff, Joe sold the stock.... Had he held those shares, they would have been worth far more than all the rest of his estate at the time of his death." At age 13, Ed Littlefield landed his first summer job as a janitor at the Kimball-Wattis Motor Company in Ogden. His stepfather relieved him of the job in order to teach him to play golf, a hobby that proved professionally advantageous as well as enjoyable.
