| Thank you for what you are all doing with this hay lift it means alot. People are hurting here. Also what an amazing thing both of these dealers started as allis chalmers dealers back in the day. Dinkels always have my dad run his ca and rotobaler in the Norfolk Parade with their banner on it. They have many neat pictures of the old dealership when the flood hit norfolk in 1948-brand new wds were sitting with a foot of water around them. Thanks again for thinking of us. |

Dpower, how are you faring? You get flooded at the farm? Probably working long shifts too. Take care! ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| John we are doing good here. I just had a little water in my basement way luckier than others. The flood control was built in the 60s to take 3 times the amount of water it should have to take- well it got within 6 inches of going over the top of the flood control. We spent all day evacuating people going door to door. The flood control held, if it didn't half of Norfolk would have been gone. We are in much better shape than towns like North Bend or Fremont NE. North Bend has 2 foot of mud through out the whole town. appreciate everyone thinking of us, means a lot. |

At our meeting the group decided along with providing financial support to ranchers in Nebraska we're also going to purchase a Semi load of fence posts, around 1650 posts. Along with enough wire, staples and supplies to provide approximately 4.5 miles of fence. We have voted on and committed $10,000 to this effort. A local farmer is looking to purchase a fence post pounder and along with a group of volunteers travel with our supplies to assist in the installation, but his goodwill won't end there. At the end of his volunteer time in Nebraska his plan is to leave the pounder behind until everyone in need has had the opportunity to use it, even if it takes until next year. While we still have hay donations committed we continue to search for trucks to deliver it. One other option with your hay donation would be to sell it to a neighbor, friend or take it to auction and then commit all or some of the proceeds to this cause. Once again ALL money raised will go directly to those in need. Through the generous donations of individuals, Dinkle implement, Koletzky implement, and New Holland Agriculture all of the trucking invoices have been paid. Checks can be made payable to Lycoming County FFA Alumni and mailed to Ron Myers 329 Kepner Road Muncy Pa 17756. Thank you for your support. ------------- Life is tough,but it's tougher when you're stupid. - John Wayne |
