The owner or editor of the Browerville paper was one of the people who I stopped as a “Flag Person” on County Road 14 road construction. He said one afternoon he would like to do an article on me. So one evening I (Fred Feltman Jr.) wrote this article for him. Being a Flag Person is a lonely job-just like living alone. In a little over two months I have been to five counties. Most of the time in Todd, but also Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Medicine, Blue Earth and Watanwan. I have worked with three different crews, the milling crew, the hot tar crew and the grading crew.
