other dog Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey Tom, you still work for the H.H. Moore don't you? Gotta be a gold watch in your near future.Naw, I worked there over 25 years, been gone over 6 years. PGT later bought the company, so H.H.Moore Jr. Trucking Co. Inc. no longer exists. Jeff and Todd Moore, whom I work for now-Jeff (and his lovely wife Teresa) owns the Pete I drive-are H.H.'s grandsons so i've been driving for the Moore family for 32 years. Started working for H.H. in June,1979. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mike Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Tom, G/F came over the house this pm and carried me to her house to play on the computer. While seeing your scout I recall my g/f and her identical twin sister had a 1970 2 door scout they drove to school. I just now went out while she's mowing the yard to ask her what color it was. She said it was orange and white. Her dad owned a small International Truck dealership in Gallatin, TN duing that time and finally sold it to what is now Kyle International in Nashville. I remember the glasses cause I had some of those myself. They were popular in the 60's and 70's. Everthing was rosy then.
