Vol.2..Norwegian Farmer’s Son..March 28th

Uncategorized 1 Minute

March 28th……“GRANDPA, DID YOU HAVE A TELEVISION ON YOUR FARM IN YOUR YOUNG MINNESOTA DAYS? WHAT HAPPENED IF IT BROKE DOWN”?

POEM – “The TV Guy Came By” by N. Elliott Noorlun. Created January 26th, 2019.

Ahhhhh for the days,

When the TV guy,

Would hear our call,

And to our house would fly.

1958 found Jim Engebretson as a Senior at Kiester High School AND helping out at Ralph’s Radio & TV Store.

With big tool box,

Full of tubes galore,

He’d spread them out,

O’er the Living Room floor.

For the television sets,

Back in our time,

Used to weigh so much,

It was almost a crime.

But with a twist of tools,

And a fuse tube or two,

T’weren’t long before,

Our TV was as good as new!!! 😉

I may be only one oat seed in a field of millions, yet I have a story to share of beginnings on our beloved farm in southern Minnesota and beyond to life as I've seen it to this point. Famous? No. Gifted? Unlikely. Yet, I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of who this gentle Norwegian man was. My happy times, sad times, successes and failures. Someday, those who are tiny now, will have this volume to come to and get to know this Norwegian Farmer's Son.
