1965

Back to 1964

Up to now, I was the “last to be picked for every sports team”. In baseball, I really did think that the glove was to protect my face from getting hit by a fly ball! Then I found I could run …. and run …. like my Dad at the same age. I specialized in longer distances up to a mile.

The above video was filmed in 1965 by George Davis (Ruth Stutt’s husband), who was visiting the farm with his family. The girls in the video include my sister, Sally Boyle, and George’s daughters. My dad was forking the hay on top of the load while I was driving the tractors. Even Rover puts in a cameo. The Allis-Chalmers pulled the hay loading equipment and the John Deere pulls the sling full of hay. (This video ends moments before the trolley released and rolled down the track in the loft. I had to find footage from someone else to commemorate that moment.)
