Spencer and all,

I have not been active with the old tractors and other equipment for years, but certainly have maintained my interests and many of the friendships.  This year Portland is shaping up to be far more than merely the world’s greatest antique equipment and tractor show—-there are going to be a number of long-time/old-time friends gathering this year that haven’t been there for a long time; it is going to be a great reunion!!  My wife and I will be there, I am pretty sure that Helen French and her husband, and have even heard that Reg Ingold of Australia is going to try to make it.

Anyway, let’s spread the word—-not only will Portland be the World’s greatest show, it will be a great gathering of old friends, a great reunion!!

THANKS for the platform!!

This new “home” will give me more flexibility, more relevancy in today’s world and hopefully greater speed and reliability.

This is one of the downsides of not having complete control. Occasionally there is a step or two I need them for and simply have to wait.
