Thoughts and prayers for the family. I remember when they both pulled at the Harford Pa. fair in the 70's. I remember the announcer giving the Snyders and George Kuback with his 6030 a hard time. I think the old guy was a horse pulling fan but when they pulled through the gate at the end of the track that night and the crowd went nuts. He sure changed is mind on whether they should be pulling there or not. That group of pullers along with your dad where the true pioneers of the sport in the Northeast. They were the ones who gave me the pulling fever as a fan and puller.

My adopted pulling parents, Chet & Jeanie. So many fond childhood memories with you and your family and riding in the sleeper between pulls. Thank you for your friendship with my father and your graciousness you extended to everyone at the track. You were an amazing woman and an incredible puller on the seat of Pappy's Toy. My sincerest condolences Chet & family...
