How Terry Stocks the Farm Equipment
This is an 40-acre farm in Grand Junction, right under the monument, completely surrounded by subdivisions. The cost of doing farm work against the neighbor complaints, just became too much, so the farmer sold out. He made a large amount of money and the ground will grow houses instead of crops.
Terry was interested in the 115 John Deere blade, and the manure spreader. They all sold for much more than he wanted to spend. It was a good sale for the seller, everything went really high.

Terry’s Retirement Party
Although, there is excitement for new beginnings, there is also saddness for endings.
The linecrews say “Good-bye” many of the guys, thanking Terry for teaching them to climb poles, work with hot lines, and grow them into the linemen and for some, foremen.
In his book of “Rememberance” most of the people wrote how they will miss his sense of humor and his ability to have a good time, besides being a good boss.
Terry’s Desk
The last day for use of the desk where Terry did his paperwork. Thirty-four years of time sheets, work orders, and other things that make a company function.
