Re: (ET) Technical Service

["Dean A. Stuckmann" <dstuck lakefield net>]

A few weeks ago I asked the group if anyone knew Bill good enough to have
him compose a letter of his intentions so everyone would know what is going
on.  I didn't see any replies so I guess we have to keep going with these
second hand stories which is dangerous.  This is my addition. I spoke with
him last week and he stated that most of the inquiries have fallen through.
If you remember, I was talking with the folks at Electric Tractor Corp and
they wanted to speak with Bill about seeing if one of the ETC dealers may 
be
interested in Bill's stuff.  I gave the message to Bill and he did not want
anything to do with ETC.  Evidently they tried to get some information from
him very early in the ETC development which left a bad taste for Bill.  I
told him that ETC was not interested in the business, they would check with
their dealers.  He still didn't want anything to do with it.  Either he is
VERY upset with ETC or he doesn't want to get rid of the business too bad 
if
he turns down possible leads.
