Hi John,

Those are some very good questions!

I recently learned more about the #3 situation. My opinion was and still is, that it, #3, should go to the museum in Charles City next. Not because HPOCA had funded the project, but because that move made the most common sense. Where better than the birthplace for the tractor to be displayed ?

I know of the blocking efforts and don't understand the motives behind it. It seems that due process and the merit of applicants should determine the fate of the tractor, not "who someone knows".

I would like to see the application of the group that possibly will get the tractor next and be given an explanation as to why they were chosen. 

I think a concerted effort by the members that believe #3 should go to Charles City might be the best plan of action. I am open to anyone's ideas in solving this problem.

John
