Mr. Easom hesitates to say he’s been at every Thresher Reunion saying he might have missed a year before he moved from his farm near Auburn to over three days he says and since he was in town, it was often easy for him to go up to the grounds to look after the gates in the morning when it wasn’t so convenient for others.
