Willard Linnevold remembered

To say that Willard Linnevold of Decorah liked golf is to say that Popeye likes spinach or that Johnny Appleseed liked apples.

The 99-year-old LInnevold died earlier this year in Florida.  In Decorah, where he spent most of his life, he is best known for his love of glof--a love so strong that when his eyesight began to fail him, he would not let that get in the way of golfing.

You can read about his unusual friendship with two members of the Decorah High School boys golf team at: http://www.decorahnews.com/archived-stories/2011/03/9124.html
