I replied to you a bit earlier but want to add a second comment, I am also a genealogist. To me our "histories" are so very important. As a nation we are becoming so very far removed from our founding. In fact, my children will be the last generation to be able to recall anyone born before 1900. Their children will know very few if any people born before 1909, the year of my father's birth. My father spent much of his youth in Akron, OH. His father, my grandfather, was the business manager for Firestone. My daddy when he shook hands with you for the first time would always say "I want you to know that you have just shook the hand of a man who has shook the hands of Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and Henry Ford." My father would be "96" if he were alive. Neither my children or grandchildren will ever have experiences like him. History is quickly moving on and so much history was made during the 1900's. Memories are kept alive by those who take the time to restore and preserve the past. Thank God for people who love tractors. They are an intricate part of our American History. Frances and (Gene)
