It's a real leap of faith, no doubt! You want to teach and help the kids learn and make memories they never forget in a good way!<BR/><BR/>That day was the driving force to teach tractor safety and I really appreciated that when I ran into a maimed farmer or read about a deadly accident.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment. That makes my day and makes me want to keep sharing my life stories.Ed Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-38110118920084720762009-02-23T07:47:00.000-05:002009-02-23T07:47:00.000-05:00As I have been a FFA dad for nearly four years now...As I have been a FFA dad for nearly four years now I can fully agree on what a great organization it is.My daughter,Megan seems to almost live for FFA week.In the past she painted signs denoting FFA week on tarps and fastened them to the side of our dump truck{with Dads help} and drove the truck to school the whole week except on tractor day.Tractor day is another story as she did not have alot of tractor driving experience.It was a real leap of faith to watch her head off into the darkness with my best tractor.I had made arrangments with a neighbor boy to meet her at the crossroads and escort her in to town.She made it there and back without incident.Now she is working me hard to drive our self-propelled forage harvester.I suppose I will give in after a few training runs like I did the that first year.I really enjoy reading your blogs and thanks for posting them.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334244527086768074noreply@blogger.com
