Uncle Joe, spiffy in a saffron windbreaker, apparently had visions of making some moola by selling Christmas trees out of Ten Oaks north of Lake City. So far as we know, he didn't get rich doing so. Later, when Uncle Bill was Goodhue County auditor, he borrowed the specs and wore them when he asked the Goodhue County Board for a raise. He got the raise. Cousins, let's try that with our bosses!!
