I worked with Don on a Toro 2 stage snow blower and was graced to witness southern etiquette at of all places Grandmas Saloon and Dining in Hibbing. When we passed an ole tank at the Fairgrounds I asked him if that brought back memories, since he spent time in a tank in Vietnam. He grinned and gave me the Don smile. I told him, it should serve as a blueprint for your next model. Another grin. Rip. Jon Kuznia
