RE: 45 years ago

Thanks for all the kind words. There are no folks better than OLD TRACTOR people or OLD tractor people. Someone asked about kids. We have a daughter who dedicated over 3 years of her life helping me keep my wife at home. We finally had to move her to a skilled nursing facility last Feb. Daughter now works in a vet clinic. Our son lives with me now and has helped along the way. He will be hauling his '58 MF 65 (Was Running When Parked from a few months ago) with me this spring. Thanks again, John Young Manchaca TX

Our pleasure to "be there for you". Just remember as you go about your day to day activities: The glass is half FULL!

We will help support you if you need to vent. Your post kind of got to me. 41 years ago I gave a redhead a ring and she's still with me.

John, As Mark Said! Keep every thing in prospective, the Glass is half Full. You have a son and daughter to walk with you in this journey! You have at least 1 tractor, think of the possibilities of new acquisition along the way, and New friends to be made!!
I have been to your humble hamlet... Manchaca, TX, pronounced(Man-Shack) is a special community Just south of Austin. With a few some what regional famous Celebrities that live there. Bet You as I remember when Austin was the best kept secret around, easy to get around before the traffic got so terribly bad. Summers at Barton Springs pool, I took swimming lessons at Deep Eddy pool, Austin Aqua Festival, being able to drive up Congress Ave to see the christmas Lights, Circle the Capital and go south down Congress ave back to where you started, the Zilker Tree, Eating at Christies Sea Food restaurant there by Town Lake! the Night Hawk, The Broken Spoke!!!!!
Maybe I made you smile I Hope So!
Spent Lots of time as a kid growing up with Grand mother and cousins in the summers and any free time we could get here, learning Austin, and having fun!
There are many Tx YTs around & will visit most any time you like put my # in you phone if you like, 512-577-3837
Later,

John, I didn't respond to your earlier post but it touched my heart and I just wanted you to know you have a fellow YT friend over here at Elgin. Prayers sent your way!!!

My Mother's family was from Elgin-Lawhon Springs. My folks are buried at Lawhon Springs. Know the area well

I did smile. I remember I 35 being built, cruising Holiday House in the '60's, Aquafest, etc!!

Back in the early '60's I was stationed at Bergstrom. Wife and I lived in a second story apartment on Congress ave across the river and up the hill somewhat from the Capitol. At night we'd sit on the roof, like you see in NYC and other high density urban cities, and look at the lights on the rotunda dome. Visited the Springs many times.

Just got back from a deer hunt and read your reply. Know the Springs area and some folks around there. Shoot me an email if you ever want to chat. Don't check daily but will respond.
