They wanted me to subscribe for $2 to read.
Other people got the story. Oh well.
Grant was 13 and went duck hunting with a couple of friends on Armistice Day 1940. One had access to a car, but the story doesn't mention if he had a valid drivers license.
They stayed at a cabin on a lake and went out hunting that day. The weather turned miserable while they were out and they figured they better hightail it.
They were on the road and a couple of cars on the road were stranded by the blizzard. Everybody stayed in 1 car at a time to stay warm and conserve gas. The next morning, Grant still in waders was tasked with going for help. He was the only one who's feet would stay dry. He found a gas station after an hour and stayed with the Mrs and her daughter for 2 1/2 days.
His 2 friends and the occupants of the other cars were rescued by a farmer who found them when he went out to get the deer he had hung a few days earlier. They stayed with him for 2 1/2 days.
A few years later ....
After graduating high school, Grant signed up for the Navy and Blank, the Army. They remained friends, and when they were discharged, they pooled their $200 cash-out money, took a bank loan and together bought hunting land in northwest Wisconsin.
"It wasn't too long before Bill wanted to get married and needed money, so he asked me to buy him out,'' Grant said. "So I took out another loan and paid him.
"At the time, I was playing ball at the U and paid off the loans by scalping tickets to Gophers games.''
Grant still owns the land.
154 people died in the storm and many were duck hunters.
