Big Guys invest in Willcox, just like me

 
March 11, 2012
This time we will talk about Warren Buffet.     I am his mentor.   Every time I do something he does the same thing.    I haven’t been around Warren Buffet before but I admire him.    I meant he is my mentor… someday I will be a billionaire if I live long enough.   I think he is one of the top 3 richest persons in America or the world.    I think somebody in Mexico is richer than him.   But he still has a few extra dollars.     His son is helping to use some of his money.   They are buying a track of land south of Willcox.   And he is trying to farm in the desert without the water.   Better be good if he can, then he could take that whole dry lake  ….  60 square miles of it and farm it.     That would even be better than Dan in Central America even.      That would be a good thing to spend his dad’s money on.    



Like Dan I like to make something out of nothing too.     I am proud of family and my grandkids and I am also proud of my farm that I used to run back in Illinois.   I remember when I was a kid it wouldn’t grow anything but ticklegrass   but now, thanks to Dan it is the best farm in the county.     (picture from 2008)



I  mostly proud of the second thing I have done….   Historic Railroad Avenue.     When I first got on Historic Railroad Avenue they had a brochure telling what tourists could do in Arizona (30 – 40 years ago).   The back of the pamphlet it said that Willcox has a Historic Distinct  but it was filled drugs and derelicts .    This Week I read in the Arizona Range News…   a candidate before the city council said he was making historic downtown a priority  “without a doubt railroad park is unique and singular, beautiful, historic, patriotic, momentous, traditional, enduring, and much too small”.    They don’t call me mayor for nothing around here.   



This is Dick Seidel the honorary Mayor of Historic Railroad Avenue.
