Marvin Aamodt memories
From Allen Richard (’65): Midland, MI.
I’m sorry to hear of Marvin Aamodt’s passing. He worked for Dad during a summer or two, as did his older brother Robert. Both great Guys! Mabel, his mother was part of the school lunch crew and was always a wonderful person. Casper — Marvin’s dad was a great neighbor. He would be there for any neighbor at a moments notice. My true condolences and best wishes to the family.
On the lighter side, Russell Pigeon, Larry Aamodt and I used to play catch with Greg Hill on the bus rides home. Greg was the projectile.

I think it would have been earlier. Both Mrs Wallbank and Linscheid (front row – she has a crown in her hair, her name is Mary Edna) were at the San early in 50’s. Dr Wallbank left the San in Feb 1951 (per San Piper of Feb 1951). Dr Linscheid was a dentist and moved to Jamestown after time working at the San. I am not sure when this was.
Mom said this was a New Years Party, but I agree it looks like a costume party. I would love to look at some other issues of the San Piper. Maybe the next time I am in ND. Mr. Rude showed my mom and me a collection of memorabilia from the San at the museum in St John when we visited in 2007. Fun to look at old pictures is it not!

In regards to the San Haven picture, I think # 15 is probably Pete Link. And for the life of me I can’t think of the woman’s name (#12). But she was an RN. Thank you Karen for the picture.

the second one in the back row is Myrtle Ermer, the 10th one is Dr. Wallbank, the 12thone I believe is Muriel MacDermott, the 13th one is Anne Johnson, and the 15 one is John (Bud) Johnson. In the bottom row, the 5th one is Barbara Schlaht. I’m not sure on the other ones. Mona Johnson (48)

A husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, ‘You Can Be THE Man of Your House.
Finding new courage that he never knew he had, he stormed into the kitchen and announced to his wife, “From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is the ‘Law.’ You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, bring it to me, and when I am done eating my meal, you will clear the dishes and serve me a scrumptious dessert. You are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will put on soothing music, wash my back, towel me dry, and bring me my robe. You will massage my feet and hands to relieve any last bit of tension in me, so that I can sleep like a baby. Then, tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair? |
