Members of Lewis-Clark Antique Power Club, Inc. (Branch 54) are pleased to nominate Randy Tiede for induction into the National Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association Hall of fame. Randy is fully committed to the objectives of our local and national organizations. Since 2007 he has been a Board of Director of Branch 54 and is a constant contributor.
Brief summary of why he should be chosen—Randy has been a long-time member of Branch 54 and he attends all quarterly meetings and special events. In 2007 he was elected to the Board of Directors and has served continually since. Further, in an effort to preserve the agricultural history in our area of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, Randy and his wife Joan host an annual fall harvest bee on their farm near Winchester, ID. Every fall Randy sets aside a generous acreage of grain on his farm for the harvest bee. He stores and maintains an antique combines—a John Deere model 36B hillside, pull-type combine and an antique RD6 Caterpillar crawler tractor to pull it—plus a “war-years Massey-Harris model 21. And, he uses his vintage Studebaker truck to haul the grain. To view a short You Tube video of Randy’s 2017 harvest bee click on to this link— (https://youtu.be/AG10IxfKLo0). Randy’s favorite thing is to involve and teach as many club members as possible about running the equipment. Younger members especially, experience “punching the header” (manually adjusting the height of the header) and operating the manual leveling lever. More experienced “Cat-Skinners” (crawler Caterpillar tractor operators) take turns pulling the combine and remembering how to turn square corners. Branch 54 is honoring Randy for his steadfast enthusiasm and support of club activities. He is a “bigger than life type individual” who greets and visits with all members at meetings and special events. Everyone enjoys his company and joking manner.
Brief summary of contributions—Randy is a stalwart member who has contributed significantly over the years to Branch 54. He has served as a Board of Director of 14 years continually. Further, he has contributed much to the collection, preservation and exhibition of antique tractors and equipment. Branch 54 will be honored to have Randy Tiede selected to the EDGETA HOF. Please give his nomination utmost consideration.
Dan Thompson
Dan Thompson is a Charter member of EDGE&TA Branch 106 which was formed in 1999. He has always been an active member who has held the office of President several times and has also served as Vice President and Activities Director. He is now serving as President again. This is a very active branch that has 10 parades and shows listed on their branch webpage.
As a young man Dan Thompson worked at several farms in Northern Nevada to learn the trade and the equipment used. Currently retired, he works part time as a substitute teacher in the local school district; in Lowry High in the Future Farmers and Industrial Shop classes. He works with the high school students and encourages them to be participants in the agriculture community. He tries to recruit new members to join EDGE&TA while showing these students how to repair and restore old equipment. He tries to get the kids excited about our hobby. Mr. Thompson has been a volunteer participant with AG in the Classroom Workshops for the younger students in the district.
Dan and other members from Branch 106 display at the “Lazy P Farm” Fall Festival sharing tractors and stationary engines answering questions about how they work to all who inquire. One of Dan’s favorite things to do is run the rope making machine creating bracelets for the kids.
Dan’s interest is both tractors and Stationary Equipment. His 1907 Fairbanks Morse “N” 15 horse power winch engine is fully operational and was used in the local mines of Humboldt and Lander Counties in Nevada. Dan displayed this unique engine at the North West Regional Show in Filer, ID and drew a huge crowd. The Fairbanks Morse and several other hit n miss engines are displayed at various EDGE&TA sanctioned shows each year.
Dan is a true leader and has planned several club activities from Tractor drives, Campout’s, BBQ’s, Annual Labor Day parades and County Fair displays where other EDGE&TA members from Oregon and Nevada have participated. Dan also has planned club activities such as tours at the Giodano Ranch and MSC facility in Fernley, Nevada. He works year around to keep his branch active. Dan always encourages other members to participate at events held by other branches of EDGE&TA. He travels to all the western states to display his old equipment at shows.
In closing please consider Dan Thompson for induction into the “Hall of Fame” as he has demonstrated his true love and passion for the preservation and exhibition of early day engines and tractors.
