[AT] How had the group changed

[HERBERT METZ]

Tyler,
Yes, Barbara and I sure enjoyed your visit. Let us know if you plan another visit to Georgia.
We bought the G with end loader in southeast IA and have been to several tractor shows in north central IA.  You were probably 'knee high to a grasshopper' about that time.  But never to south west IA; would be great to reciprocate if we ever get in your area.  Herb(GA)
