We lost a avid lifelong Caterpillar collector and operator yesterday with the passing of Ferdie Wilkerson of Faribault, Minnesota. He was an ACMOC member, a wealth of knowledge and a real character. We will tell stories about him for years to come. A "one of a kind" original.

So sorry to hear this. I still remember all the Cat D8's he had lined up to greet the Chapter 3 members when he hosted us at his place, and the D7 he had parked INSIDE a huge upside-down scraper can - that was Ferdie for ya. Thanks for letting us know Rick.
