Being the holidays are finally here, I keep seeing references to the feelings of joy everyone is experiencing from spending quality time with our loved ones. I've been thinking about my Grandfather a lot lately, though he passed away back in '85. I'd just to take a moment and pay homage to him by saying thanks for my love of husbandry, and tractors that I obviously got from being around him on his farm back in Venango Pa. during my youth.
Although I don't own a farm now, I am entrusted with caring for one of our nations oldest military reservations, the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY where I am currently employed.
A lot of what I do, working alone out in the field, I can attribute to the lessons I gleaned from being around my Grandfather working on the farm, back in the day. So I say thanks to my Grandpa for the memories and life lessons.
Hopefully I can inspire you to share some of yours here too.
