Loren, thats cool you remember our dealership, we sold NI manure spreaders, polaris snowmobiles, bug zappers, scaffolding and shoring. I have some memorabilia from the place. Best thing about having a dealership and a farm was if you needed something off hours, just head over to the shop.
I know Pete, well more or less know of him nowadays, don't see him that often, I've run into him across the road at the dairy bar, I was in there with my long time farmer/friend and Pete was razzing him about still having the first dollar he ever made LOL, likely true, but thats what it took for him to stay afloat and be successful in a lifetime career of agriculture.
Trying to think who Wes is though. Pete's son Jeff had opened a Caterpillar rental store, around '03, sold challenger tractors/equipment and M-F tractors, Simplicity, looked like it was going ok, I used to rent from him exclusively for heavy equipment, had the best deal going, not sure what happened, had 2 locations, then just one, and now closed up.

LOL
