By John Walters on Friday, November 9, 2001.

In his younger days, Leandre Poisson was a designer of consumer products. He designed to Grey Poupon mustard jar and the first disposable cigarette lighter. Now, he's working in a very different area, building solar powered houses and living lightly on the earth. An exhibit of Leandre's consumer products from the 20th century is currently on display at Keene State College. www.keene.edu/tsag/
