Hi,
As you can see, this is Alvin/Lillian Torgerson Berg’s family–I thought you might like to have a copy to keep in your “files”. As you know, Alvin was killed in a car accident on the way to visit his sister (can’t think of her name) and husband, Tony, in Chicago. Alvin, Lillian, their son, Gary, and Alvin’s parents were in the car. This accident happened, as you know, MANY years ago. Gary was just a little guy.
Charlene Haugerud Berg’s brother, Arlin (sp?) was married to Harriet Petterson Haugerud.
Happy Easter.

Alvin Berg was born and raised in the Turtle Mountain area northeast of Bottineau. He graduated from Bottineau high school and was employed for a time at Bottineau Creamery. Later he purchased a bakery at Dunseith which he operated for a couple of years before going into the liquor business in that city.

At the time of his death, they were en route to New York City to visit his sister Arla, Mrs. A. Morteliano.
Easter Dinner in Cebu, Philippines
Folks,
We Had a wonderful Easter Sunday, Chinese buffet, dinner with about 30 of our Cebu Expat friends. We were pleasantly suprised to be visited by Cebu City Mayor, Mike Rama. He was quite impressed with our group and of coarse he knew several of the Business folks in our group whom he was pleasantly surprised to see. Seeing my reservation name in the middle of all the table, he asked who I was. Before they introduced me to him, I recognized who he was. His picture appears, many times, daily in the Sun Star, our local newspaper.
