Mr Shelburne, you will be missed. Always had time to give me a wave and a smile as you passed by in the John Deere tractor or water truck on Zaring Mill Rd. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Allen, We sure baled a lot of hay back in the 1960s on the Biagi farm with that John Deere 435 Diesel! You taught me a lot! Blessings to Emogene and the kids.
