Thank you to the Farwell, Boelus, and Dannebrog fire departments for coming to my aid on Thursday morning, June 13th. Special thanks to the floater operator who helped me out of the tractor and called my wife/family. The care I received at the Howard County Medical Center was very thorough and caring. Thanks also to John and Keaton for moving the rest of the bales off the field. Thank you Dan, Joseph, and Grandson Kyle for your help getting the tractor and bale carrier out of the creek bottom. With gratitude, Don Smydra
