<\/div>\n
I ws 23 years  old  when my Uncle Frank freeman asked if I wanted to go<\/div>\n
to the first Steam Era gathering on a local farm.  Summer Of 1962.  I do not think the show even had  a name back then.<\/div>\n
Uncle Frank knew I was fascinated by the people and  machines of the 19th and early 20th century. FANNING MIILLS<\/div>\n
in particular .<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAlan, a bunch of local farmers are having farm sow nearby, would you lie to join me<\/div>\n
ands what the show is all about.  Not really sure myself.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOK:,\u201d, I Answered without  much enthusiasm..   <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And so began my lifelong association with Steam era,,  By 1980 I even wrote a  300 page manuscript on the<\/div>\n
sjubject as an M.A. thesis titled \u201ctechnology and Change in 19th Ontario agriculture\u201d copies of which <\/div>\n
are held in Cooperstown , New Yorik, Black Ceek Museum (Toronto).  .<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In short I became an enthusiast.  Lasted most of my lifetime.  All because of a seed planted in my brain by Uncle Frank Freeman.,<\/div>\n
my mother’s brother, who spent his life trying to make a living on stoney farm in Erin Township ,  Wellington c\/ounty.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
These pictures were taken on \/sept, 2m 2923, at Steam Era on the Hume Farm on 4th line of Halton County, Ontario<\/div>\n
(My not episode will feature Robert downy and his corn asking machine\u2026)<\/div>\n
