Hello from Batavia, Ohio
Hello All from Batavia, Ohio. Lifelong Reds fan, although the 90's were a little fuzzy for me, but Ive always loved the Reds. My two sons (7 and 3) are Reds fans by default. Glad to read this forum to see so many fans out there!

Thanks,
Fordman & Sons!

btw, I made the pic below, found it quite comical!

Welcome fordman. What do you mean by the 90's being a little fuzzy?

Welcome!


Thanks for the welcome!

Worked at the Batavia plant, now at Sharonville. Seen a few Ford plants during my tenure with Ford. Batavia was the best one!

Thanks guys for all you did to fund my education. I'm a Princeton HS grad and Ford and GE paid the lion's share of our bills!

I remember all those blue crates that used to be stacked outside. Red Bank Rd: Swallen's and the Ford plant.
