Ernest A. Wojahn was born on a farm in Cottonwood county outside of Windom, Minnesota in 1932. This is his portrait, collected in three different interviews in which Ernest tells a simple story of how he was raised, his love of family, bicycles, apple trees, his values, playing polkas, his battle with cancer and with a belief in religion and his love of Jesus Christ. It is the story of a humble man on his journey to help those less fortunate and to live the golden rule. Ernest was able to watch this a week before his death on February 25th, 2011.
'Moving Trees' was directed, edited and filmed by his son, Mark Wojahn
'Moving Trees' running time 30'35", Screening format Dvd, 4:3 perspective, WhatAmericaNeeds Productions, 2011.
Ernie was such a great person. He was like a great- father to all of us. I think the world lost a great person on Feb.25, 2011. He had a brilliant smile and a warm and loving heart. Ernie I know you are in God special hands. You don't have to go through pain anymore . I will surely keep Joanne in my though and prayer.

Ernie was one of the friendliest people I knew. He always expressed a genuine interest in how you were doing, even if it was 1st time meeting you. Always playing and having fun with his grandchildren. I'll also never forget when he told me that he used to ride his bicycle to work, when he was at Northwest Airlines, Amazing! You will be dearly missed Ernie!
