"Luke MaGluke."

In care-free moments of his later days, Luke enjoyed recollecting a life-long handling of reins.
"Gee," he'd say, ordering a horse team to turn right, or "Whoa," for the opposite.

Until retiring from a leg injury -- run over by a wagon wheel -- Luke drove ice and coal horse-pulled wagons on Philadelphia streets.
