Hi Ed,
You met me last summer at Canandaigua. You no doubt met many more people
that I did during the show so I understand you may not remember. Think
white, short beard, as you were opening on Friday morning. If that doesn't
work, think IH tractor seat for a Farmall 560. I e-mailed you ahead to be
sure you would have one there. I live in Honeoye Falls.
