Hello to All,
I'm sending a reminder about the Tractor Drive (Pulling Together to Cure Cancer) in Nappanee, Indiana next Saturday, June 14. It is a fundraiser for United Cancer of Elkhart County, and the funds raised will stay local to help people in our area who have or are dealing with cancer. A donation is not mandatory but would be greatly appreciated. I would like to tell you about the people in the picture. They are Bob and Juanita Weldy; married 50 yrs., life- long farmers, and Juanita spent 9 years battling cancer with Bob by her side. When Bob was restoring the 520, it was ready for paint when his wife learned that her cancer had returned after a 4 year remission. So he promptly exchanged the green paint for pink. Many people from the Johnny Poppers Club helped him complete the restoration project, as he needed to tend to his wife's needs. The Weldys and the tractor have been an inspiration for many in the community. I recently stopped to see Bob and he showed me the hitch he made to pull the tractor with the sign that says, "Driver in Heaven," as a tribute to his lifelong friend and wife. There are many others in the clubs involved with this drive who have been affected by cancer. I have chosen to tell you about Bob because his wound is fresh. Easter Sunday this year is when the Lord chose to take his faithful servant, Juanita, home. So if you are not busy next Saturday, June 14th, come on out to Nappanee for the tractor drive. Bring a tractor or come ride along. There will be wagons for riding in. Or just come out to pray for all those who are affected by this harmful disease. There will be a short time of prayer before we head out on the drive at 10:00 am. All the information you need about the drive is on the website nappaneepowerfromthepast.org, or feel free to call me (Rob Meyers) at (574) 354-7244. I hope to see there. If so, look me up because I would love to shake your hand.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
