I have a couple of old tractor / car photos that I thought that I'd share with everyone . They were taken at a festival called - Cruise Into Fall - that they have every year here in Glasgow , Ky. I do not know any of the tractors or cars specs. Nor ,do I know the owners of them , so I hope that they don't mind me posting the pictures of their machines, if they was to see them on here. The pictures are three - five years old . There is a slim, long bearded guy in two of the photos. That was a friend of mine named - Bobby Joe ( Cotton ) Tucker . He and I started going to these festivals together about five years ago . He was like a father / friend / car mechanic and mentor to me . But , unfortunately , he is no longer with us. He died of pancretits on July , 24 2007, about four months after my oldest sister died of cancer on April , 7 ( Easter Weekend ) of the same year . He was a darn good auto mechanic and an all around mechanical " fix it guy " . I was honored by his family to be a pallbearer at his funeral, my first time of being one. There is about ten pictures all together that I'm posting on here , so I will divide them up to make the post shorter. There are more pictures of the same event that I've got ,so if you'd like to see them , just ask and I'll post them as soon as I can ( mostly old cars ,though ). These two pictures are of some old tractors and one is a close up of a John Deere . It is about a 1940ish model , I guess. These small town festivals in this area are getting ready to come up, so I'll try to attend these and take more pictures to post , if I can. Please reply and tell me more of what you think .
Thank You, Whixkidkyus
P. S. These pictures are posted in memory of my old friend, Bobby Joe Tucker . He loved these events and since they are getting ready to start up again , I thought that I'd post them for you to see in his honor.
Bobby Joe - Rest in peace old friend . You may be gone , but I still have the memories.
