| Just saw on another list that Donald Fleming from Mt. Airy, Md., passed away. Donald had a large Allis collection that he always showed here at the Westminster show. |

Here's a picture of Donald & his wife Shirley (standing), at the 1999 Gathering of the Orange in Westminster. Donald was instrumental in getting the Gathering to come here. |

Sorry to learn of Donald's passing. My wife and I came to the Westminster GOTO on '99 and brought our G. It was a pleasure to meet Donald and Shirley. Shirley was amazed that we came all the way from Maine with a tractor. I am just glad that we had a chance to be there and meet them.

Sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Fleming. I don't recall ever talking to him as I was probably too young to remember, but dad always had a few stories to tell me about his farming and tractors. ------------- 8030, 8010, 220, 185, 160, D-17, WD, Unstyled WC, CA, G, 20-35, Gleaner E |
