Music Friday: Jilted Lover's Eccentric Life Inspires Billy Idol's 'Sweet Sixteen'

Larsen’s Jewelry Store, Kimball’s oldest family-owned retail business, has been a family affair since September 1926, when Olaf Larsen came from Burwell, Nebraska, to open the store. He was joined by his son, Delmar, in 1928. Delmar was associated with Larsen’s until his retirement in 1974. The family affair has included everyone. Olaf’s wife, Julia, retired in the early 1950’s and Delmar’s wife, Iola, helped in the bookkeeping department and with clock repair until 1957.

Jim and Karen Robinson own the store now, and working with them are their son, Greg, and daughter Carla. The fifth generation is waiting in the wings to fill their shoes.
