Well, that's cool!

Interesting fact: Red Skelton was from Vincennes, Indiana, which is only about 40 miles or so from me. Go there often. The main bridge across the Wabash river at Vincennes is the Red Skelton Bridge.

Along the same lines, Burl Ives was from my area... very local, as in just a few miles. He was from a small burge on Route 49 called Hunt City. He is buried in a cemetery less than 10 miles from my house. My great grandma knew him. (But not very well, he was much older than she.) She was actually good friends with his sister, and spent quite a bit of time with the family. She said he was a bum, lol. During the depression, that was a bad thing. He made it to California by hopping trains. She never could get over that he made it big. She said here at home, he was just a worthless bum that wouldn't work! LOL.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that. Burl sure made a name for himself. I wonder if he died a "bum"?

I do not believe he did. He never came back after here after he left. Not that I am aware of. Until his death, that is.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
