<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Alan:</div><div>Good to hear from you. Yes you got her name right. That was one of our granddaughters and her husband that live in Fairfax VT. Our youngest daughter (her mother) Lived in TN for many years then some years ago she and her husband moved to the west side of MT. Her daughter and husband moved to Fairfax VT where they own an industrial supply business. This year our youngest daughter and her husband moved to Fairfax and our daughter now works for her daughter. Our son-in-law works for Ben & Jerrys there. <br></div><div>Side note: I understand that he is allowed to take home up to 3 pints of ice-cream a day. I would weigh 800 pounds... 😀<br></div><div>We didn't get to take any trips this year but last year we basically crossed the country. We went from here (south of Indy) to Needles CA across the south-western states and back across UT, CO, KA etc. Then a bit later we went from here to ME and across NH and VT and back. We had X days to do X miles and we usually plan trip routes about an hour ahead. 😀 I really hated getting home and finding how many internet friends I passed so close to and didn't know just how close I was. I do expect to be back north east next year and hope to include several visits.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 5:24 PM Alan Nadeau <<a href="mailto:reloader1968@gmail.com">reloader1968@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="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.

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.
