Just got word a good friend Duane Helman passed away yesterday. Don't know any more at this time. Will get copy of his obituary from 2 of my tractor clubs as soon as it is avaible. Duane was probably the most informed person on the early Fordsons as any body. He was the tecnial person for the N club news letter and owned X9 expermintal plus dozens of other Fordsons, some kept in climet controled buildings. Think he had one of every year made in there. He had at least 50 tractors setting outside in various conditions and his barn was filed with tractor parts. He had planed to host club meetings both this year and last year but had to cancle do to health.

Duane passed away on June 21 at his home. Visitation and funeral will be in Sidney, Ohio on June 27 with buril the following day. Duane was born on Nov 18, 1941.Duane probably knew more about the old Fordsons than anybody else ever did. He was the Fordson quesion and answer person for the Ford newsleter He started Rosewood Machine that made repo parts for old tractors. He also owned the oldest Fordson ever X9 that The Dearborn muesuem decided years ago was not something they wanted anymore in the Henry Ford Mueasuem. Duane was a good friend of mine.
