We signified with a similar wave of the hand for him not to forget it. Ed Holmquist has been in town for several weeks. Ed says “he bain goin to sit right here by a stove ’till the wedder gets bedder.” In the last few years, Ed has probably worked harder than the majority of us with his trapping exploits, so we think he’s entitled to a bit of stove this year.
