John Grindvold, 102 years young. Hartington, NE

     John Bjarne Grindvold, of Hartington, Nebraska turned 102 years young on September 30, 2021.  When interviewed he hastened to add “102 and two months”!  With an unassuming personality, he looks much younger than his age and is very active. Longevity runs in the family DNA. “I have two cousins who made it to 105 and 106 years of age respectively” Grindvold says. He credits good clean living as his life’s guide. “I never smoked or drank” he said. “Well, I take that back. I did drink part of a beer in 1944. Didn’t care for it, and never felt the need to try it again.”
     Grindvold sat down to talk at the Cedar County Historical Society Museum in Hartington in early December of 2021 with Historical Society president Laurie Kathol and “Living Here” magazine.  He has been a member of the Society for many years and built a number of the display fixtures in the museum as well as other woodworking projects for his church.
