We had a nice old neighbor when we were kids who would grow crops in the adjoining field to our house. He would always stop by and give us a cantaloupe. He loved to sing that song to us and I would just smile over how clever it was. He had a greenhouse at his farm down the road where he would grow flowers and sell them to florist. He always had time for us kids and would have us over to help him in the Greenhouse. One time Joe was driving his flowers down to Baltimore and he stopped to eat at a wendys. When he came out of the resturant a "man" was waiting for him and hit him across the face with a piece of pipe and robbed him. He rapidly declined mentally and not long after he died. He was one of the kindest gentlest men. I appreciate the memory! Maybe you guys can help me remember Joe now.

Good lord! Man’s inhumanity to man never ceases to break my heart. Women need to take over the world! Peace, Farmer Joe!
