Larry, I first planted tomatoes with my grandad, near our old milkhouse, which is the only building still standing today, from this farm. Mind you its got a tarp on it right now. It has significance to me and I will put a roof on it. Nice little patch of dirt near the wellhead there. Parents were away, it was just him and I that day as his wife and my grandmother had passed in December of '69. I still plant tomatoes up on this hill, about 200 yds away from that soil patch which is still intact from those days. I learned about life and death that day, as something had happened to one of our cats, a gray and black striped one. It was dead and had lacerations on the side of its head, like something with claws got it. Might have been run over by him or was in the engine compartment. I knew it had just died when I saw it, and I suppose I'll never really know for sure what happened. He and I buried it, also made a cross and placed it over the grave. I had never seen anything die or dead yet being young, but I understood this somehow. He never said all that much as I recall, about either as we worked digging in the soil. I learned more that one day with him then in years to follow. I never got much time with him like that, as he foolishly did not take his BP meds after a vacation when he first retired. He had a debilitating stroke that was followed with 5 years of just visitations after before he passed away.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
