From 2004 I took Bill Sontag and "Woody" his Wooden Built model A AC to shows across the Midwest 1 show a year up to 2010.After the Show in Ohio last because of his Health he ask me to take Woody put in in my Allis Chalmers Museum here in Hanover Pa. and take care of it and to continue to take it to show's .With Bill's health it looked like he was going to get to see Woody again .Well as of tonight His daughter is bringing him to McConellsburg Show Saturday,he thinks he is going for a ride to see Fall Foliage in Pa. He will be surprised. Patty says they will be there around noon and stay for a couple hours ,stop by and see Bill .Thanks Fred
Bill is 88 years old this year .

Fall Foliage in Pa. and Orange should be a Great day for Bill. Tell Bill hello from all us guys that can't make it out there. I got to talk to Bill a good while at Dale's in 09 while Dave Maddux drove us around in his cart to see the field work. Thanks for taking the time to show Woody to the public.

Fred, Sorry I must have hit enter before I wrote the message. First, please give MR. SONTAG my kindest regards. I have met him at several GOTO's and he is one outstanding gentlemen. Second, I can fully understand why you won't be able to make the Maryland Tractor Club initial meeting tomorrow. Perhaps in the future. You know, some where along the line we are going to meet. I am looking forward to it. Good Luck! Bill Long |
