Snow globe repairman

Northfield, Minnesota's Dick Heibel has been fixing snow globes for decades, and says the thanks he gets from his customers is the reason he keeps doing it.

There's a short story in The Journey Prize anthology called "The Last Snow Globe Repairman in the World" by Hsein Chong Tan, which references this great man here. The story is full or metaphors between snow globes and life, among other things, and it's a great read! I found this video looking for some more information on the story for an assignment :)
