[quote:1xoln49g]Frank,
    I have gathered through reading some of the posts that you are a profesor...high school or college? As you can tell by my spelling and grammar, I am not.
    What is it that you teach?
   I think this summer I am going to try too make an effort to attend more shows away from home. This way I can meet some of those I've been talking with on the forum.  What shows do you attend?   The best show we have here in Cecil County is Dave Reed's(Otto Gas Engine Works). It's not big but is certainly fun. A nice display of local talent and only three miles from the house.
       Its a little difficult being self employed to plan to many shows. When I'm not working I have a tractor pull sled that ties me down. Although I think this year it will only take up 5 or 6 weekends.    
       So I think maybe I should be able to attend a couple shows w/o having to bring along my sled.  That'll be nice!

Danny,

I am a college professor of human anatomy and physiology however I am presently acting as Vice President of Academic Affairs. Don't let the education fool you because I am still an old country boy with an education. My folks never attended college and were either farmers, country store merchants or farm equipment dealers on a small scale. I was raised in the mid portion of TN but now live in the western portion. I grew up with Olivers.

As for tractor shows I can only attend very few because of work demands. We have two large shows in TN with over 1,000 tractors but non brand specific. My Ruritan club sponsors a small show and I attend 2-3 other small shows. You would enjoy the large shows and I will U2U information on them.
