[AT] Tractor named Friday?

Wed Mar 15 17:06:40 PST 2006

Joe and Herb, oops my bad!  You're right, Benton
Harbor, not Hartford.  Got confused with the Friday
market by Hartford.  Benton Harbor is another 15 miles
beyond Hartford from here.  Don't remember where the
Loves were made but I don't think it was here.
BTW, Joe, give me a shout when you get some time and
are in the area.  I would like to meet and meet up
with you.

Dave Myers
Paw Paw, Michigan
Exit 60 on I-94 and right in town
