- "Farmer, World War II Radar Officer, Aerospace Engineer, Family Man. This is the first installment of the oral history of Staney Clifford Henjum I. This record traces Mr. Henjum's remarkable life story, from the beginnings as a farmboy in rural Minnesota to his career in service of his country as WWII Navy man and then, after the war, as an erospace engineer in the space and defense industries. We see Mr. Henjum as not just an individual, but as part of a long generation story of his family stretching from Norway, where his grandparents immigrated from, to his grandchildren and great-grand children today."
"The first installment, Book One: Roots, 1921-1935 covers his youn years on the farm. He experienced firsthand the transition from horse-drawn plows to gasoline-powered tractors, from gas lamps and wood stoves to electricity, and the widespread advent of automobiles." - Extent
