I think I joined in the 1996 time frame. I had purchased a Farmall Super H and was looking for advice on how to get my Fast Hitch plow. Over the years, I met with Mike Sloan, Cecil Monson, Steve Offiler, and Steve Sewell. I visited Steve Sewell while on business in Ohio and got to see the famous MM Ranch in southern Ohio I visited Mike Sloan a lot as I had a lot of business in NJ and got to see the "fleet" of tractors he had to maintain his porperty. Cecil Monson delivered a MM ZAU for me back in the day and found that he had lived in Attleboro, MA for some time. Steve Offiler worked at the local Texas Instruments and I remember talking to Jim Becker on Texas Instruments TIIES system. A lot has changed since then and we have lived in different parts of country. I don't have too much time for tractor activities these days but I always find time to read the emails from the list.
How many remember the "Plow the Net" key chains? I still have a few around and in use.

Not sure how I came to this great group. I was too late to LeSueur MN 2004 swap meet to get in the photo, but I did get to meet Cecil Monson in person and visit with him. Great guy.

Later that year I had backed our travel trailer back into that one spot Diana always wanted us to use at Portland. As I finished up another trailer backed in beside us and before doing anything else Cecil Monson jumped out of the truck and hurried over to me carrying a hammer. He was truly excited that he had been able to replace that handle successfully, saying that he had tried before but could never get it right. Funny the things you remember...
