Found something you should be interested in. Took a picture of it, however, I must be too dumb to figure out how to post it. Any ideas?

Get the pictures onto Photobucket, and then slide the mouse over the photo until it says, "Get Links." Click on where it says "IMG codes." It momentarily comes up yellow and says "Copied." Past this onto a Ranchers.net post, and we can all see what you are talking about. Also make sure there is no checkmark below your post where it says, "Disable BBCode in this post." Good luck.

That is my dad's autobiography, written in 1994. He had 2000 copies made at the time, and he doesn't have too many left anymore. It is pretty good reading, even though I may be a bit prejudiced. :wink:

This one is autographed in 1994. We bought 60 acres a few years ago from an old couple and gave them a life estate on the house and barn. The husband died a few months ago and his widow is moving into to town. I was helping and found this. Thought you would be interested, she gave it to me. I really enjoyed the pictures.

I am curious what the names of the couple might be. My mother came from Minnesota, around the Benson area.

Don and Mary White. We're about 60 miles south of Benson. It is entirely likely he picked it up on a sale someplace, he enjoyed going to those. He and my Dad were friends. They knew each other back in Iowa. Dad had worked up here for several years and helped Don get a job up here.
