<html><body>Herb,<div>I remember that day well. I didn't think anything about it as most tractor guys I know would have done the same thing. I enjoyed our "cross country" ride and the conversations we had. I hope you are still doing well.</div><div><br></div><div>Darrell (Bigdog) Ratliff<br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "HERBERT METZ" <metz-h.b@comcast.net><br>To: "Darrell Ratliff", "Antique Tractor Email Discussion Group", "Spencer Yost"<br>Cc: "Herbert Metz"<br>Sent: Friday January 1 2021 2:06:34PM<br>Subject: ~ 8 years ago at Portland Show<br><br>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">Darrell
Ratliff & Spencer Yost,</span></div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;"> Barbara and I will
never forget Darrell's hauling Herb around on a Saturday (?)
morning until we found a lower radiator hose for my Dodge pickup.
Late the day before it sprung a leak and soon overheated as we were
leaving, so we limped back to the campground. Most everyone pitched
in and soon found the leak; Larry Dodson insisted Barbara and I
overnight in his motorhome, etc. Next morning you hauled Herb many
miles before we finally found a replacement hose; someone quickly
installed it and we were on our way.</span></div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">Thank
You.</span></div>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">And Thanks
to You for the many new good friends we now enjoy because of the
ATIS forum you developed and maintain</span></div>

ninety recently so Portland (535 miles from Cumming, GA) is
doubtful.</span></div>
