I am retired from John Deeres, worked 35 years in the Waterloo engine plant, been retired about 8 years now. Have a rare nervious system disease called neurapathy which causes pain in my feet and hands but I can still get around, doped up on so much medicine that I can't feel my hands. Son helps when he can. Some interests include restoring old John Deere 2 cylinder tractors I have 12 restored and about 12 unrestored. Also collect old cars and trucks, I have 3 50's chevy trucks, 1 36 chevy 1 ton, 55 nash ramber, 49 ford, and a couple other cars and trucks, most are just stock or unrestored because I am working on the two I have up now.

Usually I just stay at home a work on the projects, but do make it out to car shows and the occasional swap meet. Go to a lot of tractor shows and take some of my nicer ones to a local one every year.
