Thanks for posting Lynn. Joe was a great AC rep and a really good guy. I never missed any service meetings he would put on for customers. Steve

Joe spent some time here on our farm when the 4W305 wouldn’t put oil out of the rocker arm shaft. He made quite a few phone calls trying to get to the bottom of this problem.

Thank you for posting that, Lynn!
I worked at AC Dealers from 1975 until 1989. Joe was a great service rep and I always enjoyed him teaching the factory service schools.

No doubt we attended some of the same schools. Marshalltown armory building was always a hoot. Kansas city, Milwaukee, and Oklahoma city area were all rather "informational " too. Joe was a good guy and his teaching skills were certainly better than some. I looked him up a few years ago and it was fun to reconnect with him. He was in good health at that time. I wish now that I had taken time to document some of his AC stories from the time that he worked there. Those would have been priceless.

I'm sure our paths have crossed a few times, Lynn. Oklahoma City was the only location that I don't recall being to a school. Marshalltown brings back a few memories for sure.

The school in Oklahoma was actually at Wayne and we stayed at Purcell. Those towns are south of Oklahoma city. We got into Norman a few nights and that is a college town, so there was plenty of things to do there.

The National Guard Armory in Marshalltown was always a good place for a training school. There was adequate room to get tractors inside the center area and class rooms off to the side. Combines didn't work so much tho. It was also 30 or 40 minutes from the Region office, which was nice for Joe and the rest of the team, and centrally located within the state too.

The Marshalltown site offered Cecils famous roach coach lunches. I also recall going down to Hesston a couple of times. Better food and we got to tour the Hesston plant at least once. I don't remember ever touring the combine plant at Independence or the tractor plant at Milwaukee while at service schools. We may have done that, but the memory fades, especially after a few nights out on the town.
