[AJD] late B

[Ronald L. Cook]

I had the opportunity to visit with a couple Deere retirees for about a 
month in 2003.  I cannot say anything about the current happenings, but in 
the past, Deere apparently did the same thing.  Had to.  Lots at the 
factory were full and things were not selling, but production continued to 
keep the employees at work.  It was, however, pointed out to me by these 
old boys that all that changed after the Deere family members no longer had 
any control of the company.  I am just repeating what was told to me.  I 
have no first hand knowledge.
