Well after kicking it around and talking to the wife we have decided to sit back and enjoy life and spend some time with our 5 children and 4 grandchildren. 30 yrs. of working a full time job and running a business on the side is enough, will still be an E.F.M. dealer and will still do repairs and small jobs but the days of doing 15 or 20 units a year is coming to an end. Will still be available for moral support and to answer any questions, not getting any younger and we just need a break, to our countless number of customers who purchased units or buy parts we will still be here, just slowing down on the refurbishing jobs, THANX STEVE AND ANN MARIE

Steve,

People like you are a dying breed, under-appreciated by us younger folks until the *censored* hits the fan and we need you to rescue us. Everyday I thank God that we have honest hard-working men like yourself, willing to turn wrenches and keep the machinery running. I'm sure you have forgotten more things than I'll ever know. Thanks!

I don't know,,, there is probably more there than you think Steve!

And then there's this "other shop" I hear you mention once in a while. I wonder how many pieces of coal stoker history are in there?
