What a guy! What a family! My first meeting with Ruben seems like yesterday but was over thirty years ago. I grew up a city boy but loved to drive tractors. Dan obliged me with an invitation. Farm and Fleet provided me some proper farm shoes. Ruben noticed and proceeded to make them more proper by scuffing both saying nothing but a giggle.
