Probably one of the funniest men I ever met was George Hedtke from Davis Junction, Illinois. George and his close friend Emil Svanda told some wonderful stories about 'the good ole days'. I like to listen to the older steam men the most. That is where I get most of my experience on how to run steam engines. It is important for a young 16-year old like me to get as much experience as I can.

I especially like to listen to George talk about the late Justin J. Hingtgen and the trip which they took to New Rockford, North Dakota Show several years ago. George and I have corresponded for a few years and I certainly enjoyed meeting my 'true friend', George Hedtke. I also talked to a nice lady who works for the IMA magazine. I told her I was going to write a story after the show was over. I didn't catch her name but I wish I did. Maybe she'll recognize this story when it is printed.
