[AT] Fwd: Mike Sloane

[Dick Day]

Like the others, I sure hope Mike gets back on his feet real soon.  I don't 
know of anyone who is more knowledgeable in so many areas ; tractors, 
electronics, computers... and he is always willing and anxious to share his 
knowledge.

Get well soon Mike!

Dick Day
