Karl and Gordy picked it up in Waterloo. Gordy says that The fellow who built it was a welder by trade and was planning to use it for his equipment. Meanwhile he suffered a heart attack and decided his hard working days ought to end. He seemed to be in good health when we met with him. He was a very kind soul (this from Gordy.)
Okay how about this? We brought it back to Waverly after Easter 1972. Maybe next it went out to Columbus, with the trip to Charleston part of that adventure. Who pulled it back to Iowa? Next Roger pulled it to Wichita at thanksgiving (1976?) with dad's tools. Mom and were already in Wichita with their fifth wheel. We used it to move from Lawrence to Iowa City in Sept. 77. I think it made its way to Elgin and got parked at Mark's barn. There it left our hands. Mark repaired it (axle and lights), right? Brenda's mom and dad painted it white and pulled it to Arizona and back. Then Tom and Karen pulled it to Oregon. How fitting for its last contribution was as portapotty at J's graduation!
