Unless something unusual happens it looks like I'm going to make another year (77). You know for a guy who did not think he would make it to the year 2000 this is exciting. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate being a part of this site. While I have no tractors I will do all I can to keep the name of Allis Chalmers alive. It is always a pleasure to share any information or experiences I have.
Thanks to all for allowing me to be a part of this very special site. Let me be the first to wish all my fellow forum members a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.
Look forward to seeing some of you in the future.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

And here's hoping you have a very happy birthday Mr. Long! You are just a couple of years older than my own dad, and I can barely keep up with him sometimes! I really enjoy the knowledge you share. Your friendly and encouraging posts really bring character to the forum. I especially like your passion for our favorite-the "B".

Bill, I have great memories of the crab cakes we had at Ocean City. John and I think of you often and talk about our trip to see you. I wish you many more happy birthdays. We had a small snow blizzard in NE yesterday but the sun is shining today. We are hoping to make a trip to MD after the new year to see the kids. It is always a joy to read your comments.

Happy Birthday Mr. Long (I believe that Mr. Long is appropriate for someone of your caliber). It is not a boring post. I too read all of your posts as you are one of the people on this site that 'when you speak, everyone listens'. You always have something worth listening too.
Enjoy the birthday, and hopefully our friend down under won't be too stingy with the sun and will send it back to you sometime soon.

I will chime in with everyone else here Mr Long. I thoroughly enjoy your posts. You have shared a lot of information with everyone here, especially with your firsthand knowledge of how the dealerships operated, and how these fine machines were when they came fresh from West Allis.
Wishing you a healthy and happy birthday, with many more to come.
A Merry Christmas and Happy new year from GA.
