Had a real nice trip to Ohio visiting family. A couple of years back I had met Rich Aiken when I was out there and he invited me out to his place but It was my last day and I couldnt fit a visit in. I looked him up last week and had a real nice visit, B's, C's WD's and D-17's are real common where I live but but you rarely see much else. I had never seen a WF or a lot of the other machines he had it was almost like a museum and he was happy to share his knowledge of these machines with me. I spent about 3 hours with Rich and had a great time I bought my Girlfriend an old Wheel Horse Ride Away Jr. from him to fix up for her to run around on at shows, It was a real pleasure to spend some time with Rich and a high light to a nice little vacation, Rich thanks again for your hospitality, T.J.Ps. we barely fit the tractor in the car we had to take a front wheel off to get it under the rear hatch frame :-)

| Dang! If Ida known that I could have paid for your fuel for bringing me an item from out your way. A trip to Richard's place is always treat. |

| Richard is a great guy, reminds me I think I still owe him a hamburger for some WD parts. |

| I forgot to mention that we ran into a whopper of a snow storm when we got into Pensy and I was happy to have the weight of the little tractor and all the antiques that Kathy bought for a little extra traction.T.J. |

| Cute little tractor -- that's one more thing that won't have to go into Rich's new toy box. |
