On September 10, 2011 the family celebrated Grandpa Lindman’s 90th Birthday with a fun family Celebration, a wonderful evening of family, fun, laughter, visiting with him.
What was it like 90 years ago? Wilford was born: 1921. (His birthday was September 13, 1921 in Salt Lake City, just 10 months after Anna and her mother had traveled from Sweden to Utah to join Axel.
· In 1921, Heber J. Grant was President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
· March 4th of that year, Warren G. Harding became the 29th President of the United States.
· On June 13th of that year, Yankees' pitcher Babe Ruth hit 2 home runs beating the Tigers 11 to 8.
· On Aug 5th the Treaty of Berlin was signed between the US and Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
· On Oct 2nd New York Yankee Babe Ruth hit his record 59th home run.
· On December 21st the Supreme Court ruled that labor injunctions and picketing are unconstitutional.
· On December 31st the last of San Francisco’s fire horses were retired from the fire department, and they started driving motorized fire engines after that.
Wilford’s life has bridged from outhouses to digital indoor toilets—from silent movies to YouTube and wall size televisions—from model T’s to hybrids (but for him, it’s a Jeep Cherokee) —from five children to 90 great grandchildren in January of 2012—and the adventure continues.
