KFGO's Robbie Daniels chats with Boyd, who has a great story about dancing:
Boyd L. “Ope” Oppegaard
US Navy
E-4
Erskine, Minnesota is where I was born, raised, and continue to live. I was originally drafted but chose to enlist in the Navy. I served for three years from July 1971 through July 1974. After completing basic training in San Diego, California, I was stationed aboard the USS Haleakala (AE25), porting out of Concord, California. I worked on the low- and high-pressure air compressors, hydraulic powered units, forklifts, and after steering watches while out to sea. I was very proud to have served my country and especially enjoyed sailing to other countries.
After the Navy, I returned to Minnesota and spent most of my working years with BNSF Railroad. I also continued to farm in my civilian years. I am now happily retired.
My incredible wife, Julie, and I married in 1986. We have raised three children and are now grandparents to three more. I enjoy hunting, trapping, fishing, traveling, and putting on fish fry events at our local American Legion.
I am a member of that same fish fry holding American Legion club, out of Gonvick.
