4th folder 4th photo???
Well, okay Kerry. Here is the 4th photo 4th folder in my picture's. I can't tag 4 people because I only have the same ones you do and you already tagged them. At that rate we would be tagging forever. I will tag you and Kass. Anyway this photo was taken in 1965 I believe. It was taken on the farm. Mom and Dad are looking good. Sometimes I miss them when I think of funny things they said and did. They were great! In the background is the "EAGLE". My Grandpa Rob got that many years before from a Farm Equipment Dealer in Wahpeton when they went out of business (or discontinued the eagle). It was Iron. Think Grandpa Rob painted it up and it sat in his farmyard for years. We loved to climb on it and was always a conversation starter for visitors. When Grandpa left us Dad hauled it to our farm in the old green pickup. It sat there for many many years. I am sure all the grandchildren climbed on it too. It was taller than you were until you were probably 10-12 years old. One day a guy was driving by and seen it. He came in to talk to Dad and offered to buy it. He had 3 sons and wanted one for each of them. He offered dad a thousand dollars for it and Dad took it. After all he was planning to move to town and someone would surely steal it there. He couldn't give it to one of his children because we all lived in the city and someone would really really steal it there. He was probably right. I am sure we all remember that eagle fondly. The old green pickup is another story and another photo. Hey, I probably could do this forever.
