Marvin Pride

My parents were up in Warroad visiting family not too long ago. While they were there they went on a tour of Marvin Windows. Here is a picture of the boys wearing their T-shirts to show their Marvin Pride.

















My dad's hometown is Warroad. He and a whole lot of other folks I'm related to have spent some amount of time employed by Marvin's. This next photo is a shot of my dear Grandpa (my dad's dad) at work making screens somewhere in the mid-60s. I always thought of my grandpa as a farmer and never realized until this last year that he also worked there. Some days I just can't wait to get to heaven.

Gotta love Marvins!! That's a neat pic of Great-Grandpa!! I didn't realize he worked there...I always think of him as a farmer as well. :) Neat!

Hey, Thanks for the pic of Grandpa! Love it. Even though I lived most of my growing up years here in Warroad, I only thought of Grandpa as a farmer...even though I knew that he worked there. I guess I got to follow him around and work with him on the farm, but never got to follow him around Marvins. :) Have a great evening! Love, Linda
