There are three things that have been very important in my life over the last 50 years.  First is a wonderful lady, who consented to marry me in 1955 (after a lot of miles in a 37 Pontiac and a 39 Harley Davidson). 

We have 3 sons that live in the Siouxland area and a daughter that lives in Overland Park, KS.  We also have 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.  WE have been blessed by having our children and grandchildren close to us.  All three sons and three grandson work with us in our business.  We have been in business for 31 years.

 This beautiful lady also very gently led me to our Lord Jesus Christ.  Christ is #1 in both our lives.  Third are trucks.  Trucks provided our livelihood.  I love my work for 50 years and still do.
