FOLSTAD UPDATE

I am still working on trying to get more information on Folstad. I think the reason it may be difficult is according to the patent information he died in 1928. I've tried to contact his son Grant Folstad to see if he can shed some light on his father. The blind alleys are driving me crazy. Somebody must have known him well. There also seems to be a Folstad snowplow -- may be the same fellow. I am sending a better picture of the Folstad insulator. (See story in September, 1989 issue, p.34)
