<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I cannot understand the Mask Issue. Yes it is a P.I.A. to wear a mask but that is the only way we can get out now a days with a little safety. I am living in a Rural area and there have been quite a number that refuse to wear masks. It has gotten a little better the last few weeks. Businesses can be fined for not enforcing masks inside their businesses. That has helped a bunch but you still see a few holdouts.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Sorry about your friend.

I say this with a heavy heart, as many of you attending Portland may have met him. While at Portland I introduced a few of you to a fellow named Raymond Craft. He was part of the the local home town Pfafftown contingency that attended the Tri-State show. He attended the Portland show along with Bill Gannoway most years and a few others. We were all good friends and neighbors and were part of the local Rust And Dust club that sponsored the the local tractor show many of you attended. <br clear="none">

Raymond died of COVID-19 about 10 days ago. He was one of those “masks are for pussies“ kind of guys. I wonder if his three daughters, three grandkids and wife are thinking the same thing these days.<br clear="none">

I saw him and spoke with him(thank God with a mask on) at a funeral about 15 days before he died. I miss him already as he was a stand-up guy. He was also your go-to-guy for Farmall “H” tractors. I’ll bet his estate now owns about 15-20 of them.<br clear="none">

I hope all y’all are being careful. Sorry to vent but he leaves a hole in my heart. I’ll miss seeing him at the local breakfast diner and talking tractors.<br clear="none">
