Crawford County, Robinson, Illinois | Ron..NE ILL..10/48 - 2/5/2016 20:44 Robert Thanks for the link. Always good to review some "earth-shaking" history. I think you've been to a major tractor mfg lately. Did you see any engineers wearing white shirts & ties? I wonder what happened to those?
I started teaching school during that era, wore a suit, starched white shirt, and tie every day. I had never dressed up like that in the past, but after a few years it became comfortable. Before my Wife retired from teaching, the school was buying "booster" t-shirts for all teachers and required them to wear that on Friday. Quite a change in fashion in 30 some years, and not for the better.
Point is, white shirt and tie were the minimum standard during the development of the D-21. Always liked how that tractor looked and sat, but never owned one. |
