Wendell Hjelmstad and I had several phone calls identifying him. Claudette
Brandt, Marlys Rodahl (she was in his graduating class) Derald Larson said he
was an old classmate and that they had gone to grade school and high school

Kenny and I attended the 90th

Okay, I'm at the end of the news
for this week so have a great St. Patrick's Day as it will be here before the
