W.A.T.A. "Hooker"

WATA would like to give a BIG thanks to Mike Cole for being our hook man at EVERY pull. It takes a lot to be out in the hot sun all day to hook every tractor to the sled and not ask for a replacement. We really appreciate it!!!

(Mike was presented with a fleece jacket with the logo shown below at the banquet Jan. 10th)
