A Letter from Our President
Fellow Platte Valley Pullers,
I know, I know, you are saying "what, a second letter during the year?", yes your eyes aren't deceiving you. We have some new business that has arisen that affects every member of the club.
As of next season or the end of this year we will no longer have the services of Greg Lussetto for our pulling sled. This does indeed throw a wrench in our monkey business.
Greg has decide that he needs to slow down a bit and be home with his family more. I for one understand, what we don't see is the time he puts in on the sled to be ready for the next pull. As we all know Greg has done an outstanding job for us over the years. I do commend him for that. I also wish him the best. Thanks Greg !!
I want to call a brief meeting at the Hershey pull on August 23 so we can have a SHORT discussion on what to do for next year. So if you can, please come to the pull. This is usually the largest pull of the year, so I hope more people will show. Please pass the word around.
Thanks, your President
Brian Anderson
Puller of the Year for 2007
Alvin Van Briggle - 2007 Puller of the Year
Alvin was one of the first pullers in our club and helped start our fine pulling club many years ago. Alvin said that he was going to be down sizing his pulling operation, so he traded his big trailer for a smaller one and sold his Div III JD A to a fellow club member, (I wonder if all the awards he won with that tractor was included?), and is working on a smaller pulling tractor that is easier to haul, but on the other hand I did see him buy two pulling tractors at the Tom Meirer estate sale. So maybe Alvin's down sizing is different then what I thought!!!!
If it wasn't for Alvin we all would be home mowing the lawn on the weekends instead of tractor pulling!!! So please give Alvin a big congratulations for the puller of the year and finding something else to do on weekends!! And pay attention to what he is doing and saying, you will learn something about pulling!!
Thanks again Alvin,
PVTP club
