So today at the fort ransom be craft show I meet someone. Now this isn't a big town maybe 100 people the craft show brings in people from all over and my orange ac shirt defiantly got me some conversations today but one kinda blew me aback. Apparently the son of the Vice President of allis chalmers in the late 60s to 72 was there and well you can guess what happened. We chatted for a few minutes and I didn't get a lot of details but his dad grew up in Milwaukee and owned an ac dealership and became vp. He lived in Oakes North Dakota and flew out to Wisconsin frequently. Does anybody know if that was possible not to call him a liar but that's quiet a claim if it's true than I feel pretty honored. Is there anyway to see who was in the position at that time?

In my opinion,,,,, if he was very high up, he should've had a better thought on business Allis Chalmers was doing, then maybe they'd be around now

Did he give you any idea of his name? I worked for a company here that rewarded people with fancy titles instead of a fatter back pocket. We had a gal who IMO was nothing more than the entertainment coordinator who had a title of VP festooned upon her.

see idk lol it was only a 5 minute chat im guessing like you said it was of a division or something small no way it coulda been the actually vice president of the whole company but if I could figure out who was the vp of allis in 72 and do some digging find out if he ever lived or owned a dealership in nd then maybe it was. wish id have gotten to chat longer with him
