It was a happy time of my life. Started high school in 1970. Graduated college 1979. Took a year off from college to work full time on the farm. Farmed with Dad & brother the whole time. Except 1976 when we had the worst drought I can remember. We had 15-17 quarters of land . Some 10 miles away in one direction and more land 15 miles away in the other direction from our main farm.

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.
