Oscar at Berts

Thing of the past ...

Not many people today know that Oscar (Lindholm) was quite the beer drinker in his earlier days. He as a every afternoon visitor to Berts and on weekends too. His wife Elsie was with him on her stool a lot too, up until her death. Oscar, like a lot of us, quit beer drinking as he got older and instead of spending his spare time at Berts, he used it at the Pantry or putting on displays of how to make horseshoes. Oscar was who I used to shoe my horse for many years. Here is a photo I took of him one evening at Berts with him puffing on his trademark cigar that he used to always have. With him are Tom Kelly and Dean Settles, circa 1979.---Steve Plutt.
