[AT] Fwd: [Farmall] Mike Sloane

[Grant Brians]

Mike was not a farmer in the sense that I am (I make my living this way),
but he embodied the generosity of information and patience that I like about
most on these lists. I learned qhat I consider quite a bit from his
experience and wisdom. I will miss trading email connections with him. He
was a good fellow and I am glad to have been able to tell him that in the
past.

Mike was on the town council and really used to love coordinating the
annual clean up days where residents would discard all sorts of unwanted
and broken items in dumpsters placed in front of City Hall.  He would
eagerly sort through these discards for chain saws, lawn mowers, hand
tools, weed wackers, vintage audio equipment, etc, haul them home, and
repair them to use himself.  I doubt Diane was as equally thrilled <grin>.

So I'm hoping the other side likewise holds "town clean up days".

Mike, you will be missed . . .
