Got a call from a friend this morning telling me my picture was in the paper. It was in an article about a Farmers Market I sell at, didn't expect the article to be printed so soon. Here's the link, http://www.timescall.com/top-stories/ci_32549359/broomfield-farmers-market-seeking-vendors-season-starts-june-11" rel="nofollow - http://www.timescall.com/top-stories/ci_32549359/broomfield-farmers-market-seeking-vendors-season-starts-june-11 Then a few minutes later I got an email about an old friend had passed Sunday morning in his sleep, the day after his 62d birthday. Hear he had some problems but when I saw him a couple months ago, he was doing better and looking forward to farming this spring. Leaves a wife and four kids, all successful, none married yet. That's life I guess. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Must be something with that age. Best friends dad passed Monday at 62. He's had a long battle with dimensia and went down hill about a month ago then finally passed.

Congratulations, John! You are now a local celebrity. Handsome guy on the front of that tractor, now you will have lots more ladies flocking to your front door. On a more somber note, sorry about the loss of your friend. We never know when our time is up and God will call us into eternity. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
