> Hi all,
> I know that this is way late, but I thought I would post this anyway.
> I had a wonderful trip to Georgia to visit family. One of the greatest
> highlights of the whole trip was meeting up with Herb! My Uncle Kirk
> and I went down on Friday and got to meet both Herb and his Wife. Such
> wonderful people!
> Herb gave us a history lesson about the Allis tractors that he had at
> his place. My favorite was an Allis G that he had with a loader. I
> have never seen one of those loaders like that Herb. I did get a
> chance to share the history lesson with my grandfather also. He is 81,
> and has way more experience than I do with this old iron, and even he
> didn't know that they made a loader for a G. (I couldn't believe I
> knew something that he didn't). :)
> He also told us about the scale model he made. What a neat deal!Also
> was nice to listen to Herb talk about
>  his gardens. That, too, would keep somebody busy.
> We also chatted about the time in the Navy that he served. One of the
> things I really enjoy most about these conversations is the
> opportunity to get so much history from the people who saw these
> things. History books only tell the story how the author chooses. The
> real way to hear the story is to chat with Herb's generation. Sadly,
> the younger generation of folks don't take some time to do that.
> (Except a few of us). Instead, they are worried about their cell
> phones, video games, etc.
>
> My family down there and I decided that we would try to make this an
> annual vacation, (to have Tyler come visit), and I hope that we can
> make the visit with Herb and his wife an annual event on that
> vacation. It was sure fun to finally meet someone in person from the
> list! :)
> Thanks again for a fun day Herb!
> Take Care,
> Tyler Juranek
