[AT] My cover is blown

[Dean VP]

Dudley:

You were darn close. When you were at Rock Valley Tractor Parts you were
about 15 miles from where I was born and raised. My home town and Rock
Valley were big baseball and basketball rivalries during my high school
years. Both towns in the same county. Sioux County. Dutch country! We won
more than we lost. 

One of our children was born in Spencer, IA on February 22, 1962 the winter
we had 26 days in a row where it never got above 0 degrees F, typical night
time temperatures were 40 degrees below and had snow so high we had flags
tied to the aerials so we could see cross traffic. For some odd reason the
next winter and 13 years that followed we spent in So CA.

Between Spencer, IA and Rock Valley, IA, just a bit North of Sheldon, IA is
a large Salvage Yard as well in Worthington, Minnesota. Not as many antique
tractors left there, mostly combine stuff. Did you stop in at Roberts
Carburetor Repair when you were in Spencer, IA? 

Well, I had a witness with me the last time I went to Salem, SD, my older
brother, so I can prove I spent all my time at the salvage yard.  :-) Hmmm.
Maybe I better call him and make sure we have our stories in synch. :-)

Dean,

Speaking of NW Iowa I spent a full day this past July rummaging around
salvage yards in Audubon and Wall Lake and then finished up the day viewing
a large collection (mostly Farmalls) at Pomeroy.  When I left Pomeroy I
meandered over to Storm Lake, then up to Spencer and then West to Rock
Valley and on into Nebraska.  Did I get anywhere near to your' family
farm/home place?

And speaking of Salem, SD ... yeah, we really do believe you when you say
that when you're there you spend all your' time at a tractor salvage yard!

Every time I visit NW IA I usually spend a portion of at least one day at
the Salem, South Dakota Tractor Salvage yard a few miles off of I90 and only
about 90 miles from home. Quite a good variety of antique tractors to pick
parts from. But I may not be able to go there any more. My cover has been
blown! See reason:
