To Charlie, from Palmer Hatton

I am very appreciative of the
award
that my wife and I received at the Boonesboro show. There were
many
people deserving of this and we feel very privileged for being
selected.
My wife and I are Christians we believe in Jesus Christ and his
teachings
and I know you believe the same. I have a message I would like
to
share with you and I believe it is true. The first tragedy in our life
we
lost our three year old grandson to cancer and we were rewarded with
four
beautiful healthy grandchildren.
The second tragedy we had was the lost of my father in May of 2003 to a
lung
disease that he had for fifteen plus years. He was a farmer and doctors
fill
that chemicals caused this illness. I would visit my parent's two times
weekly
and still visit my mother the same. My father was very interested in my
truck,
several part's on this truck came from his father's truck which was my
grandfather.
He would have loved to rode in it but his health was failing. He would
always
ask about my winning's and keep a count of them, I would always take
them
by for him to see, that would make his day. Charlie this truck
has
won some disbelieving awards this year and I believe someone above has
a
hand in it.
I am thankful for all the lives you touch in your business
and the great person you and your wife are.
Your Friend,
