WHO WILL TAKE OVER WHEN WE OLD FOLKS ARE GONE? The answer is not
so elusive. Young men like Dick Kruse (left), Duane Nobbs (right),
and the overseer Dennis Nobbs will. At the Badger Show, Baraboo,
Wisconsin 1978, these boys, with little adult help brought the silo
to the show, painted it and cut ensilage as their exhibit.
There’s little more need be said.
