whfan74 2,066 #1 Posted January 6, 2012 Mods....sorry for misplacing this but I thought it should be seen in a high traffic area Was cruising the net today during my lunch break and found this article that was published by a local South Bend News Station. Thought the rest of you would be interested in reading a little bit more about this fine man and a little about his life. There is also an opportunity to send memorials in his name listed at the end of the article. http://www.wsbt.com/news/wsbt-cecil-pond-developer-of-riding-lawnmower-dies-20120105,0,2116647.story?page=1 I am thankful for the vision that he had. This has truly turned in to a magnificent hobby that is being shared by 3 generations of my family. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
