NickHolt Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 John, Didn't Billy used to work on Tommy Grimes crew at one time also? I recall him working the grain scales at TWS for at least a couple of TIDA events too. Billy will be missed. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
