I've realized that as the Walker cousins reach new stages in life, there is a bigger need for more frequent communication. What I have decided to do, is try to offer a solution. I've come up with a way for us to have an online bulletin board. This will be a good way for you to either share family information, or to learn something about the concerns of the family. Previously, our family updates have been made by phone and email, but occasionally someone accidentally gets left out of the loop.

The Story of Uncle Don Walkers Tractor
Guess who's this tractor this is. How old it is.
This tractor belonged to my Uncle Don Walker. He received it when he was six years old (the 1930's)when he first got Polio. My great Grandmother, Mary, gave it to him."Things were really tough then" he says."but I loved that tractor!" He played with it an awful lot and enjoyed it even though he couldn't to a whole lot with the Polio. The wooden truck and trailer Don built after he retired from Doges around 1988. Now my Grandpa (Dennis Drake) has it.

Well, I get the pictures but what about the story?
It looks like the stearing wheel is on the wrong side. Wait, maybe I've just been gone to long!
Beautiful story! And a well played with tractor! I love the picture of it on the truck. What a treasure.
