The Ford Barn

This hobby has been rewarding to me in so many ways. Perhaps the most rewarding are a number of the folks I'd met through the past years.
There have been many a good man.
One that has proven himself exceptional time and again?
Chris Thompkins in New Zealand. A "zillion" miles away but he feels like such a close friend.
Chris, if you are "out there" and see this, please know I am very grateful to you.

Good of you to pay homage.
I can say we all feel rewarded when we find advice from you.
Even if you can't understand it for us.

While I have not encountered Chris in my 'Barn experience, I have certainly found the same friendship that Kube talks about in the many friends I have made here. My home is not exactly on the beaten path, but many Fordbarn friends have found their way here. Thank you Kube for reminding us how important our friends are.
