I now think it might have been 1992, as I opened another envelope that WAS marked and there are some duplicates of ones from the first envelope. I'd guessed 88 or 89 as the car in one of the other pictures was one I got in late summer '88. Great Grandpa was a doctor, the entrance to his "office" was on the side where my dad is standing in the driveway. Great grandpa had 6 brothers, 2 were doctors, the others worked for the Canadian Railway. The family was from St.Thomas Ontario. I've never heard a story as to how he ended up in Detroit. Grandpa's two sisters never married, and lived in that house till they passed. I don't trust the Google view as the one showing the farm is still on there and it is marked "image capture 2009". You are not supposed to be able to identify date or anything, but I can tell you exactly as Randy's Service's truck is there and they were putting tubes in the H and the 77D that day. Even I am in the picture. Funny side note about St.Thomas Ontario. Dad hauled Olds out Lansing from '73 till he retired, and liked to deliver to western NY (Buffalo, Rochester, etc.). They used to cut across Canada. There was a Canadian customs agent at Sarnia that he'd sometimes see three times in a week. They got to talking, and her name was Campbell also, and her family was from St.Thomas. So from then on they'd say "Hi Cuz" when they saw each other.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
