I'm thinking he attended the Carlson Induction at the HOF, and I'm thinking the Dator Rainville bought from Jon, came from Ramon. Joe might confirm whether I'm remembering that correctly.

Don't know about the dator, but I do remember talking to him at the HOF.

This is Ramon, Bob "dator" Enns, and John Orvis outside the Hall, five years ago:

Talked to RainDeere...I was thinking of someone else on the Dator ( The mind is the first to go ).
So I was correct about his attending the HOF, the rest,....never mind.

Cool artical on Raymon's collection. I kind of chuckled how many sleds we Deere guys seem to own. Some of us have 3 or 4 sleds, then 10 to 12 or 30 to 40 of them. I swear they muliply in the barn...

Linder, you made me laugh a bit, thanks. But for the record I have not purchase a Dator from Ramon :bonk:

Cool guy ,great collection.I met him at The Jack in Clear Lake,IA some time back when he brought his 84LF,78CC,Dator etc.and I brought my 340/S obviously jump starting the conversation.He doesn't live far so I run into him once in a while.He strayed off into Polaris territory lately, racing a Centurion in the LeMans race at the Jack last year.
