North Idaho Memories: Windshield repair for $5 and a six-pack
Paul "Torgy" Torgerson was 22 years old when he and his dog Hurby drove from Minnesota to Coeur d'Alene to start his windshield repair business in August 1979. His first repair was at the Snake Pit, where he fixed a windshield for $5 and a six-pack of Miller beer.
