NH Man goes Colonial

By John Walters on Tuesday, May 25, 2004.

Jack Lecza is a wealthy and prominent Bristol merchant. He�s a leading shareholder in the Colonial House Company and has sailed to the new world to oversee one of the company�s investments, a colony charged with supplying lumber for ship masts.
Well, that�s the role real life management consultant and Bedford resident Jack Lecza took on to be a part of PBS�s latest reality offering, Colonial House. He spent several weeks in the wilds of Maine living the life of a merchant in 1628 America. The amenities were non-existent- bi-monthly baths, relieving oneself in the woods, a diet made up largely of peas and oats- but Jack says the simple life, hard work, and sense of community changed his life.
