• Also Robert Pedersen w/A Tool Shed. I’m sure that he has family photos that he could share. Also this year (2020) is A Tool Shed’s 75th year.
• Helped with the 60th.
• Is this part of the trade show or a separate event?
• Let me know
• Would love to come to a CRA celebration! Would be happy to buy a ticket. Something fancy would be fun.
• I would love to help but being in Iowa and my travel schedule, I don’t think it would work. Also I am a supplier.
