[AJD] Styled A "Cut Away"

[Terry L. Hrdlicka]

Duane,

If you make the trip, plan on at least 2 days!  They have at least one 
of everything ever made by man before about 1989!  The only complaints I 
have about Pioneer Village are that the info, when posted, on the 
various items, is not always correct, I.E., the Waterloo Boy in one of 
the tractor buildings has a spiel about the Waterloo Engine Company, 
Waterloo, Ontario.  My other complaint is that there is TOO MUCH STUFF! 
  Everything from stone corn grinders to jet engines!  I think if a 
person actually wanted to thoroughly check everything out, it would take 
a week!

Had fun, though.  Even momma and the kid enjoyed it, I think.  They 
looked around while I was checking out the machinery, tractors, and cars!

Terry
