North Dakota Folks – Successes

Hi Gary from Sunny Turtle Mountains (at least still today) – snow is forecast to hit tonight and maybe tomorrow with lots of wind, but temperature is predicted to go back into the forties Monday/Tuesday. My brother Spencer Larson (BHS ’68) had visited with Greg Page at the Winter Ag show that Rod Hiatt referanced. At that time Greg had come from Singapore, the Asia-Pacific Cargill Headquarters which currently has 300 employees. Yes, there are a lot of success stsories from our part of the world. My dad, Ledolph went to Detroit in the late thirties to work at Ford Motor Company. There was a long line of applicants but when he was asked where he was from and he said North Dakota, he was told he was hired on the spot. They told him they knew they could depend on the North Dakota people. I believe Ben and Adolph Iverson were already employed at Ford Motor prior to that time. Since, if memory serves me correctly, he had said that it was Ben who encouraged him to pack up and get to Detroit. Ha, probably if I went to a box of old letters I might even find more information.

Joke of the Day
 

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive

double-pane, energy-efficient kind and today I got a call from the

contractor who installed them. He complained that the work had been
completed a whole year ago and I still hadn’t paid for them.


Hellloooo, … just because I’m blonde doesn’t automatically mean
that I am stupid. So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales-guy
had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would

pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It’s been a year! … I told him.


There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.
He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.
