From Hodgins auction site:
RE-SCHEDULED!! - Unreserved Close-Out Auction for BUD ZIMMER & VENTURE FARMS LTD. Business Auction Thursday August 7, 2008 CUDWORTH SK Canada
Hodgins Auctioneers

 

Dad told me that tonight - wonder why??

 

I worked in Cudworth and did several trucks for teeny Zimmer back then. He used to go to Ont. and bring back Louisville trucks that were not that old, but rust was starting. He have us fix the rust and give the trucks a neato paint job and sell them to the farmers as grain trucks. He also brought back some tractor trailer trucks and we did them up and drove them to Edmonton where he sold them.
I only worked at Schultzkies for 6 months. Then they laid me off when I asked about the raise I was suspose to get after working there for 3 months. The next week in the paper was an ad for a bodyman to replace me. I didn't know it at the time but what they were doing is against the labor law on laying me off to avoid a pronmise pay raise. Lucky me I got hiredon at Ryan's autobody here in Saskatoon as a frameman.

 

What years would that have been Glenn? i was a kid when cudworth was a happening little place with that business activity.

 

That was in 1980. From April til Sept.
Every weekend I drove back to Saskatoon to party then. I was only 20 then.

 

Yep, that sure sounds like Teeny, he kinda developed a reputation over the years....

 

That was the case with many truck dealers back then - bring home rusted out eastern junk, clean it up, install a box and sell it to some farmer.
Glenn, was Kim Duford at the body shop back then?

 

Yep he was my boss back then. He later bought the shop I heard. The shop has changed hands a few times since then.

 

I was thinking about hitting up that auction, I just got the reschedule flyer in the mail too.

Sounds like quite the fellow! Might be an interesting auction.

 

Anyone going to this auction?

 

Quite possibly I`ll be there for a part of this sale.

 

We are going to look around this afternoon - I have an appointment in Humboldt tomorrow morning and then another late in the day in Stoon to get my racerback mounted - a high speed incident resulted in carnage (again!!!) but well worth it when unsuspecting sports car or another chipped truck remains in rear view mirror

 

You, in a high speed incident? No, I refuse to believe it

 

My Mom must have been driving it when that happened.
