#46 "The Father Of Yule Lighting."

December 21, 2023

This is a wonderful Christmas story of a father's love. Go back to 1914 with us to Christmas Eve. A six year old boy is bedridden with illness, so his father, D.D. Sturgeon, a pioneer in the electrical trade, does something never seen before to cheer up his son.
Now in modern time, millions of people do what this man did that evening.
