Funny thing happened to me at Ft. Leonard Wood. In the late 1990’s I was working for a contractor training the National Guard hazardous materials response teams from all over the country how to handle hazardous materials incidents.
Later, not long after 9/11, I made a trip back to MO to pick up an Oliver tractor. While passing through St. Roberts, I remembered a nice Japanese restaurant I had eaten at several times while I was there in the past. I was telling my buddy about it and showing off my local knowledge.
The restaurant was on the road leading up to the main gate, several blocks back from the gate. So here I was pulling a trailer with an old Oliver farm tractor on and before I knew it, I pulled right up to the heavily fortified main gate. The MP’s came out of the woodwork with automatic weapons pointed at us. We had a hell of a time explaining to the MP’s what were doing there. Finally we were able to make a U turn got the hell out of there. My buddy was not impressed with my local knowledge.
Seems they had moved the main gate into the post about 3 miles further up the road. The Japanese restaurant was nowhere to be found.
Anyone know of a nice restaurant called The Point. A very nice family runs it and catered to the folks I was working with. I spent Thanksgiving there with them one year.

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
