It's amazing how friendships can me made on these forums,oftentimes with out ever actually meeting the other person..
We had some storms roll through here yesterday afternoon..Heavy rain and up to 85 mph winds..pretty intense little storm..blew some semi's over on the turnpike,wiped out a few trailer houses, 4 people killed..Anyway I was watching the local news last night when they announced the name of a truck driver killed in one of those blowovers..Turns out to be a "friend" of mine from one of the antique tractor boards that I frequent.. I had actually met him a few years ago at the big IH tractor show in Columbia Missouri..He took pictures of everybody there that he "knew" from the boards.. Made everyone feel like they were just long lost family, really great guy..I only had the pleasure of meeting him that one time, but did see him and waive on the highway sometimes as he drove that semi from Springfield Mo to Tulsa and back every afternoon..
I'm just sick about it and so sorry for the loss to his family and friends..
RIP Jimmy Carl King..you will be missed..
