Several years ago Spencer and Brice and Steve (?) had buttons made that 
said FATG (they were blue with black letters.) Given my 1946 MH Pacer (see: 
http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/Roti_Eng/Massey_Harris/) they gave 
me one and I became an "Honorary" FATG! Then the next year at Portland they 
showed up with PINK buttons that said "FATG--Fine Assed Tractor Gal." I 
know that Dolly and Kelley and Mel were given them. How many others were 
honored in that way I don't know.

PS, My FATG button has a place of honor on my "show" suspenders!
