Before lunch, there were four brothers drove up from down around Pontiac, Illinois, and they were the McCasky boys. Their father was the first owner of the same engine which was purchased in 1924. Mr. Keinow let the boys run the engine and you could tell by their talk and admiration for the engine that it brought back a lot of memories.

The way that I have been popping my safety you would think that this was all of the activity at the Thresheree, but I can assure you it wasn't.

I would say there were about twelve steamers, Cases, Jumbo, Advances, four or five large gas tractors, sawmill, fan, teeter-totter, and they had steam plowing and an old hand-feed separator that was in good operating condition. They had a number of scale model steamers. Those people involved in putting on the event deserve a lot of credit.

The fact that I live in a city of 35,000 prevents me from having a large engine to work on or store, so I would be satisfied with a working model 3' scale of ' scale. I am preparing a shop in my 2-car garage. I have already acquired an engine lathe 14' swing 5' between centers, a No.2 Milwaukee K & T milling machine, so by the time this gets in the ALBUM I will be started on a model engine. Some of you readers will say 'What will the little woman have to say when you spend too much time in the shop?' Well, Mrs. Beedy is a ceramist. She has ceramics all over the house and she has all the necessary equipment to pursue her hobby in the basement - so we'll both be busy!
