To Charlie, from Palmer Hatton
(printed by permission) ...
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,
