<div dir="ltr">I originally joined in 1994, Hank Wessel put me onto this group after I sent a letter to the folks at Green Magazine inquiring as to whether there was any Internet group for those of us into old iron. I had put my phone number in that message and one evening I got a call from Hank who made me aware of ATIS. Linda and I visited Hank and Jaqui (sp) quite often until he retired and they moved to Ohio.<div><br></div><div>Also spent many pleasant times with Cecil & Lucile, great folks who we were blessed to be able to call friends.</div><div><br></div><div>Somewhere along the line I swapped IPs and never quite got around to re-upping from the new IP. It was during that blank time that Cecil M left us. I still regret that lapse.</div><div><br></div><div>I was one of the box passers, in fact the box the manuals ended up in was one I made. <br><div><br></div><div>I hauled a couple tractors for Spencer. IIRC, both of them came out of Canada, one was a M-H out of Ontario and one was a Ferguson TO or TO-E that I took to Fort Wayne Indiana after picking it up in Quebec, IIRC again.</div><div><br></div><div>Along about 1997 I met Francis Robinson and spent part of an afternoon with him & Diana(I hope I got her name right). Linda and I stopped by there again sometime in the early 2000s.</div><div><br></div><div>A few years ago Cecil Beardon was passing through and we met him and his wife for lunch.</div><div><br></div><div>The Robinsons passed right through my town 2-3 years ago, maybe more. Turns out that their daughter lives 1 1/2 towns over from us.</div><div><br></div><div>Haven't done much long distance traveling for quite a while now, just can't tolerate long hours behind the wheel anymore. I do miss it!</div><div><br></div><div>Once again I swapped IPs and was relegated to being a lurker. I just rectified that last week so I can finally post instead of hiding in the shadows. </div></div><div><br></div><div>Al Nadeau</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 4:32 PM Mattias Kessén <<a href="mailto:davidbrown950@gmail.com">davidbrown950@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Evil Dave is missed, I still have a sign he once sent me.

Good to hear Evil Dave's name. He was good at a lot of <br>
things but he wasn't very good at being evil, or starting a Maytag. Grin<br>
Arnie Fero still reserves a bunch of space at Coolsprings for the group.<br>
