Today, November 12, 2010 is a time to recall the aftermath of the memorable blizzard of Armistice Day, 1940. The numbers who can remember that day are fast decreasing due to memory loss and death as time claims us one by one.
As an 11 year old boy on the Dutch Charley Creek farm in southwestern Minnesota I carry some vivid memories since farm people ended up being quite isolated for many days following the storm.
We survived better than the people were off duck hunting on that day, some of whom did not live to tell their tales of wind and cold and ice. Farm people were accustomed to a survival mode without benefit of electricity and the nicities of urban life.
