Hi Gary,
 
Myron you are right of some of the kids on Rendahl church.  The three sisters in the second row are the nelsons Loretta, Evelyn I cant put a name on the last one but I went to school with them.       Lloyd  Awalt

Gary and Friends,

          I just got a chance to look at the Rendahl picture and would
like to add a comment.  I am quite sure the three girls in the middle
row are Abe Nelson’s daughters and the tall boy to their left is Francis
Atherton.  The little boy in the front is more than likely Carlyle
Nelson.  I think Hannah Rude is on the right in the back row but I don’t
know the other older people. My mother and aunt used to say that they
thought the Nelson sisters,  when they were older, were the prettiest
girls in the area and they used to try to fix their hair the way the
Nelsons fixed theirs.  Back in those days they all lived along the
Willow Lake road and not too far apart. This is just a guess on my
part.  Thanks Gary!

Dick

On the Rendahl picture, the tall guy on the left is Francis Atherton, and the guy in back is Abe Nelson. I think the rest are all correct.

Joke of the day
Posted by Geri Metcalfe Munro (’59): Fargo, ND
 
Dan was a single guy living at home with his father
and working in the family business. When he found out
he was going to inherit a fortune when his ill father died,
he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.
One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most
beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
“I may look like just an ordinary guy,” he said to her, “But in just a few months my father will die and I will inherit $200 million.”
Impressed, the woman asked for his business card
and three days later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
