Thank you Adolfo... Adolfo Ibarra has retired after 47 years of faithful service to Frank and Susan Wedel. He started as an eighteen-year- old young man who spoke no English. He quickly learned English as well as farming tasks such as operating tractors, combines and all sorts of implements. He learned to set irrigation water from gated pipe and start contrary M & M
irrigation engines. As we transformed into the livestock sector, he became an expert at low stress handling and he could find a sick calf with the best of them, sometimes before the calf showed clinical signs of sickness. In the rare occasion that a cow needed assistance calving, he became like my own veterinarian. He always had a great attitude, a quick smile, and a hearty laugh. He became a citizen in 1989 and was so proud of that accomplish- ment. He and his wife Betty have two sons. One son has a PhD in troubled youth counseling and the other is a fire fighter, EMS instructor, and ambu- lance driver. He is greatly missed but we wish him the best in his retirement. Thanks again Adolfo! Frank and Susan Wedel
