SUNNY CAL, "WE WOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT, BUT ..." |
| (07/13/2015) |
| Dear Editor, We love West Virginia and love to come back now and then to visit and would never have left if here had been more work in the 60's and 70' we would have never left, but we did, and now that we are retired and have families here it is harder and harder to get back to the state we loved so much in our youth. But time marches on. We live 35 miles from Peoria where Caterpillar is KING and they have a new museum dating back to when CAT was formed. It is nice to see should they be in the area. Here are couple of pictures of my grandsons and son standing beside one of the earth moving trucks, the tallest boy is my grandson TJ and he stands 6' 4" so the tire is over 15 feet tall.
In the bed of the truck they build a movie theater that holds about 50 people and they show movies of their progress over the last 100 years. Also, anyone coming this way should take an afternoon to visit the New Lincoln Museum in Springfield, which is only an hour and half drive from Peoria. The state did a first rate job on the museum and it is must see if anyone is in the area. After all, Ole Abe was the President who allowed West Virginia to became a State.
