Board Member - Ralph Seymour

I've been thinking about what I should blog about and decided that it's a good time to introduce everyone to our amazing Board of Directors. Each week I'll introduce you to one of our board members and tell you a little bit about them. The National Tractor Parts Dealer Association Board of Directors works very hard to support you, our members, and we appreciate what they do for our Association.

I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Ralph Seymour. Ralph is an Associate Director and represents our Associate Members at all board meetings. Many of you know Ralph and his wife Kathy. They have been involved with the association for many years through Sparex, Inc. Ralph is Managing Director of Sparex and is responsible for distributing New Replacement Tractor Parts to dealers across the entire USA.

Ralph is serving his second term as Associate Director and his reason for running was because almost half of the members of the association are Associate Members who supply to the regular dealer members. Ralph states, "I wanted to be a voice for those associate members and find ways to better improve the relationship with the regular members, especially at the annual meeting."

Thanks, Ralph for your continued support and hard work. The association sincerely appreciates you!

Remember that the NTPDA is YOUR Association for used, rebuilt and agricultural and industrial repair parts.

Phyllis, I just wanted to say that I agree. Everyone at your office, everyone that works as
board members, and many of the NTPDA members are the BEST! And if I could take just a moment to say....Many of you know that we closed ALL AMERICAN CRANKSHAFT CO. at the end of April this year. After 30 plus years it was just time to do something different. Some of you know that my boss and husband, Lewis Dantzler, suffered a brain injury and back injury in a fall at work. He is doing as well as can be expected, perhaps as good as he will get. But he and I both wanted to thank all the members for their business and support over the years....and to say we will miss you all. If you would send this around I would appreciate it. NTPDA members are for the most part SALT OF THE EARTH GREAT PEOPLE. We wish you continued success! Jackie and Lewis Dantzler, former owners of All American Crankshaft Co. out of Alexandria, LA
