Sunday morning was "Decoration Day" at the Church in Madison County where my Great Grandfather attended and during the time when members were recalling folks that they remembered an older Gentelman stood up and was telling how he could allways count on Uncle Mack pulling up with his Jeep loaded full with his grandkids (my father included). After the service I looked him up and asked him how well he remembered the Jeep. His response was great he told me that it was the first Jeep on Spring Creek and how when his dad's tractor broke down they borrowed it to plow with. He told me that the the next year Homer Reeves my great grand's best friend bought a Jeep and that his father bought a used one. I told him that I'm restoring "Uncle Mack's Jeep and that we (my father and son) are going to bring it back "Home" this fall. It's hard to believe after all these years what folks can remember!! |

Dang that's awesome.....wish I had a family connection to mine.
My Dad refuses to help me and my mom when it was stored at her house in
the garage moved it outside while it was stripped to make room for
yardsale junk that she collected.
anyways, enough of my ranting. try to get pics of the car load or in the field to post if you can. I always liked checking old pics like that and so do many others good to hear Hope you and dad like working in close quarters |
