I just learned that Mike Schmudlach passed away earlier this month. Those of you that are newer members of this site may not be familiar with him. It has been a dozen years since he was active on the site. But he was an early member here and his connection to antique tractors on the internet goes back to the early days of ATIS. He regularly attended the early Cubaramas and was largely responsible for French Cubs finding their way to the US. Another of his contributions was deep involvement with the Wisconsin Historical Society. His efforts greatly enhanced interest and support for the McCormick collection at WHS by the tractor community.
On a more personal note, the writing I did for Red Power Magazine was largely the product of his badgering me to do so. (After all, he was a lifelong Wisconsinite.) However, I have never quite owned up to his accusation that I got us thrown out of a biker convention.
Here is a link to his profile on this site.
