Minnesota Crew With 195 Years Combined Experience Retires

A Minnesota crew with 195 years combined experience has hung up the whistle. And FWIW I know one of the members of the crew as he was sheriff of Freeborn County Minnesota where I grew up(and his brother was my boss when I worked in radio) They also were registered as a crew in Iowa and generally did a couple of games a year in Iowa late in the year when the Minnesota schedule allowed them too. And I had a chance to see them work in person in Iowa as they did a game I broadcast once and did a good job. And in a funny aside one of the members of the crew knew my dad through emergency management(dad besides being a teacher did emergency management for our small town) and when dad talked to him before the game there was a big surprise as he didn't know my dad was working with me in broadcasting(Dad wasn't being paid but I bought the post game meal so that was his pay)
