<p>I am a fairly late member. I was recuperating from a crash in my
spray plane in 2003 and was stuck in the house in a wheel chair
killing time on the computer. I had plenty of time to kill. 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.</p>
<p>Farmer, I need to replace a hammer handle. I could use you
posting.</p>

<div>Lots and lots of memories over the years. One that I recall
was one year hammer handles came up and I did a post with a
step by step on how to replace them. 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...</div>
