Orvin,
 
On July 14, 1921 you were brought into this world. In the past 90 years, just being who your are, Orvin Hagen, you have touch the hearts of so many folks in all walks of life. For those of us that had you as a 4-H leader, we couldn’t have had a more dedicated and knowledgeable leader. You assisted and guided each and everyone of us with all of our many projects with so much enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication. We were so proud to have you as our leader. You were an inspiration to each and every one of us. You never ran out of gas either, always burning the candle at both ends.
 
Orvin, do you remember this Black Angus heifer Missy, in the picture below? You and I took her to the Valley City Winter Show in your pick-up. I will always remember that trip. It was an experience I will never forget.
 
I so cherish the close family relationship that we had in my growing up days and continue to have.
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
 
Gary
 
PS – For those of you wanting to get a message to Orvin. Orvin’s Brother Leland talks to Orvin everyday. if you send a message to Leland for Orvin, I am sure he will pass it along to Orvin. Or you can just reply to these messages and Leland will pass it along to him that way too.

Dwight Lang’s remains
Message posted by Florence Hiatt Dahl (50): Anchorage, AK
 

In reply to Judy Anderson’s question. No, no funeral. Dwight wanted his body to be used for “science”. When “they” are through his body will be cremated. and turned over to his brother DuWayne. And then his ashes will be dropped near a big stone on a hill north of the farm where he grew up. Thanks for the memories. Being the yougest in the family and Charlotte being the oldest, Dwight and DuWayne are more like brothers to me then nephews. i will miss his his e-mails greatly. His honesty, straight forward answers and sense of humor was to be admired.

Gary,

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone on your list who sent
condolences when my Mother passed away. To those of you did, my family
and I thank you so very much. It was easy to tell that your expressions
of sympathy were from the heart. The rest of the my family had a hard
time believing that these came from all over the U.S. and the
Philippines.

Geri Metcalfe requested some pictures which I am providing here.

Dale, Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. Other than for you and Lorraine, It has been 45 plus years since I have seen your family members. We were close neighbors too. These pictures mean a lot to me. Carol looks very much the same as I remember her and Lois too. Darald has changed some.
