Taught High School Vo Ag for 40 years. Never seen without that cigar. Never seen smoking it.

I know a fellow like that. When their 50th anniversary picture was posted in the local newspaper it dawned on my that it was the first time I'd seen him without a cigar in his mouth.
 
Tee, Picture is my Dad pulling his modular house into position August 1985. He died 7-7-91 and only 60 years old. This is one of my favorite photo's of him and our 1950T tractor. Happy Father's Day to all.

Sorry, not a great photo. My Dad and I in a Porsche RSK at Westwood Circuit in '67. He wasn't one for swearing, but when I gave that thing the beans he said "Holy SHIRT !!"

In the first photo, my dad is the one in the middle with the bow tie. I have no clue who the rest are in the picture. My mother is not among them.

The second photo is my great grandparents and their brood. My grandmother is the gal on the left. Quite a resemblance between her and my father. She died at age 31 the day after my father was born. My great grandmother had ten children and outlived five of them .

My Dad on his 9N with me in the back and my son in the front. He loved working together as a family; you would never find a man prouder of his family. He died in 2009 but he still works alongside me everyday.

My dad trying out his freshly rebuilt C Case, just like the one he hid during the war in Holland by burying it and planting potatoes over it. Mid 1980's. Ben

red as I recall. daddy's business partner in the farm was the Ford dealer and we used several tradeins over the years. we had a '39 International with the headlights on the fenders. great for rabbit hunting.
 
Our Father, is the last serving Family member to arrive here in North Western Alberta Canada in the Fall of 1929.

I had a '51 Dodge 1/2 ton, I think they called that model an "express" rather than a pickup truck ........ dark green ...... a lot of guys changed out the original rear end which was geared so low that highway speed was only about 50 mph in safe mode. I love it when American adults refer to their fathers/dads as "daddy" ..... I think that must be a USA expression since it is seldom if ever used up here in Canada. Somehow it expresses a lot of love for one's father, at least it seems that way to me.
 
The look on your face gave your Dad something money cannot buy, you're obviously "charged" beyond description getting that tractor.
 

Family pic from 5 years ago. Dad, father of 14, passed away last June, mom is still on the farm. I am on the right.

 
I think I only have one pic of my dad, and I'd have to go digging for it. He was always the one behind the camera, not in front of it. To add to the irony, he worked at Kodak. Passed on Valentines day of '91.
 
This was taken the summer of 69. Dad packed us all up and moved from Bowling Green Ohio to Loyal Wisconsin to start a life of farming. Had the world by the tail....

My Dad Ray Jr. in front of the first barn at my Grandpa Ray Sr.s farm. I'm guessing around 1941. I own 12.67 acres of the 30 they had. Dad died in 2008. Now I am Ray the last......

I just noticed the tent in the first picture. Coleman. I have one we bought in '74 - 74 and I still use. They don't build them like that anymore.
 
Lost my dad in 2011 and my oldest brother that was like a dad last September. He is the one on the far right and I am the one with the green shirt behind mom. I had a great dad world war two vet and raised 8 boys and one girl. Lost love ones missed daily

This is my Dad and most of his family. In the first,
he is standing in the front. There are his parents, a half-brother, 2 half sisters and a sister. Taken in the Sterling, NE area.
In the second he is on the right with hois mother and another half-brother.
 
No tractor photos. WWII, and his lifelong job at the electric company as a lineman. He started there at age 16 in 1934 and worked there until he died in 1983. Only time "off" was his stint in the Army from 42-46. He told me that early on at the power company - they would just send him out to put up new lines and poles with hardly any help. He had to hire temporary locals. Also, power was turned off for most residents at 6 PM and came back on early in the morning. If you wanted power at night you had to call the power-company and pay extra for it, because it meant someone had to stay at the plant to keep it going. Hard to imagine now.

here he is on his W-30 in 2009 at 83 which he bought in late 40's or early 50's and farmed with it. pulled it out of shed one day for him and started it. two years later he was gone... shocker. i still have the tractor.

My father,myself, and my grandson, last fall, dad passed just over a month ago, a good man gone, it still doesn't seem real. Mike

Another pic of my dad. Hand cranking a 1915 Model T Ford his uncle bought new in 1915.

That's me before I trimmed down in the Marine Corps, and one of my sister's girlfriends in back.

JDEM, I read a book recently about WWII campaign in Italy. That was some of the worst fighting in the war. Especially the first attempt to cross the River Rapido.
 
Here are a couple of my dad. Passed away about 2.5 years ago at 55. Heart attack. Not a day that goes by I don't wish I could talk to him. Last picture is of dad and granpda taken in 1988. Grandpa passed away Thanksgiving, 11-25-93. Dad passed away 11-20-14. Almost 21 years to the day.

This is my Daddy in his flight suit. He was a WWII B-17 pilot.

In the top small photograph he is front and center with his high school basketball team. Next small one he is on the left with the Ski 130's in Antarctica in 1963, and the last was his business van. He did heat and air as a retirement business when they moved back to the farm in Collins, MO.

Here are he and my mom soon after they were married in Hondo, TX, in 1944.

49821.jpg


He left the farm to go to war, then farmed until 1952 when he went to work for Ford Aircraft in KC, MO, then Lockheed Aircraft in Marietta, GA and stayed with them until his retirement in 1983 and he and Mom moved back to the farm.

He died in 2014 at 91 and mom in 2016 at 95. I miss them and think of them every day.

This is a great thread, I've enjoyed it immensely.
 
One of the few that I have of mine.

He was KIA during the battle of the Huertgen Forest on 29NOV1944, I never knew him. Rest In Peace. :cry:
 
This is me with my dad in the summer of '43, I think, which would have made me two and him 33. He was a welder, working at a trailer manufacturing plant. His age, plus two kids, plus working in a defense industry, plus having a brother who volunteered to go in his place, kept him from being drafted. At the left of the photo can be seen the wheel of the bicycle he rode to work, being as gasoline and tires were rationed. After the war he moved to the old family lands in the country and started dairying. To my knowledge no photos exist of either of his tractors, an 8N and an NAA.

To30man, I know some of your brothers. I know your last name how ever I can not remember your first name. Good picture of your family.
 
My Dad (on the '36 WC) with my paternal grandpa. Believe this was in 1951 and Dad would have been 18 & grandpa 55.

My maternal grandparents, unknown date but probably early 40's.

Lawrence%20and%20Clara%20Hagemeister%20with%20a%20brown%20swiss%20small_zpsdrgn94ir.jpg


Dad passed in 2012 age 79, his Dad in 1981 age 85 and other grandpa in 1998 age 89.

I've many pictures of my Dad and myself together but none involving any farm activity. For some reason I'd love to have a picture of the 2 of us standing next to a full manure spreader by the barn door holding our forks, haha. Alas, no. Lots of quality father & son talks working in the barn....
