Harold, you had a unique experience being involved with horse drawn farm work. My grandfather kept his work mules long after acquiring a tractor. I remember as a little guy climbing up Pete's front leg, using his knee as a foot hold until I could reach the hames and hoist myself up. I spent many an hour perched atop Pete talking to him while he worked. He seemed to understand my youthful gibberish too. After all these years I still cherish those days and your son, Mills will do the same.
