02/16/08: He’s up!
Written by Jeffrey L Tucker on February 16th, 20101PM: WINDCHILL IS UP! Windchill stood for the first time since he went down last Saturday! It was a major team effort from the crew that volunteered to be here for the lift today, which is largely the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department (many of whom came in on their day off as they have been all week to check on him) along with some additional volunteers – Larry Erickson, from a neighboring farm; Cindy Aho from Cloquet who donated the use of her sling, as well as block and tackle wench to lift from the rafters; Sheriff Tom Dalbec; Deputy Karen Kucera and of course Kathi Davis, Walker, and myself!
