Old Tractor / Car Photos

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,

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.


Thanks,

Gosh, Whizkid, sorry your friend passed on! But, you can thank him for giving you his knowledge that you can use in your life!
Everybody needs a mentor who will help them survive the trials of life, and have a person who can help you in learning new things.
I have "picked the brains" of many folks, and it has all helped.
When i went to work in the local Ford Garage/ Dealership, the older fellows helped me get started there, and i made some lasting friends.
Thsy are all gone now, but, well, me being soon 85, it figures!
